Recount Writing

Totara is busy learning about recounts at the moment as we have an e-asTTle assessment coming up. We have written a recount, looked at the e-asTTle exemplars, talked about our stories and where they might go and Mrs S has also suggested what our next steps will be for our recounts.

Today we had the Rimu (Year 7/8) students come in and work with us and our recounts. We each shared our recounts and then gave feedback, Two stars and a wish. Totara students did the same for the Rimu students. Their stories were very impressive. You can read them on their class blog here.

After we had all shared our work, we spent time working on an area to improve. Some of us looked at paragraphing, some improving a sentence or changing a word. Tomorrow we are going to work on re-writing our story using these improvements. We can't wait!

While we were all busy doing this. William was outside helping Lisa in the sandpit. You can read about his sandpit adventure here.
