My Place in the World

6 April 2016 - Over the last few weeks the students have been learning to write in formal report style to present the country of their origin to others. They have had to learn how to write in the third person, include topic sentences and how to write supporting sentences. Their writing has needed to be correctly punctuated and presented in paragraphs. They are now sharing their learning with you and are looking forward to reading your comments!

My Place in the World Writing

6 April 2016
Over the last few weeks the class have been researching one of the countries their families have come from. This has seen students learn how to correctly write a formal report and produce a "My Place in the World" piece of writing. Writing formally has helped the class learn how to correctly construct topic sentences and group their ideas into paragraphs. Watch out for regular updates to this post and enjoy learning about the range of countries that Ruma Tahi students come from! Aotearoa written by Riley Jimmy's ancestors homeland is the Land of Bagpipes!
