Writing Focus:
Welcome to Year 6, 2018. I want to get to know all of you lovely learners a little better. This week we will be doing a piece of 'All About Me' writing that will go onto our blog which tells our readers about ourselves. Keeping in mind that this writing will be going on our blogs, it is important that we are Cybersmart, that what we write will keep us safe and leave a positive digital footprint.
