Focused writing in Harakeke

In Harakeke the students have been writing about Matariki and the different legends used to explain the seven stars. They have been thinking about how they work best; what furniture they like to use and how they can arrange it to enable them to focus and write for a sustained period of time. Some students work best in small groups where they can share ideas, others like to work alone facing away from any distractions. It is fantastic to see them explore how they like to learn. Check out our slideshare below to see some of ways our older students like to write.
