Term One Week Six

Kua hua te marama 

Something has completed a full cycle

Kia ora. I know some of you are going to the Year Seven camp this week, so we have a lot to do, but not so much time to do it.  It has been really exciting to see your TEXAS paragraphs - and the way you have used the feedback you have been given to improve your writing.  Remember, the feedback does not just apply to that particular TEXAS paragraph, you can take it forward to the other paragraphs you need to write for PEH (and NCEA) but also to every other paragraph you will write in the future.  The most imporant thing to note is that a paragraph is a series of sentences about ONE main idea, and that you need to use precise vobabuary and language choices, and clear and explicit examples to convey your meaning to your reader.
