Today for Writing, my group has been focusing on recounts. We explored blogs from the tamaki cluster and found interesting recounts that were written by children our age. I then took a recount quiz on a site called 'Bitesize.' I found the quiz easy and scored 10 out of 10. If you would like to take the quiz as well and check your knowledge on recounts, click here.
