The wharenui is a place where homeless can go if their home was either
washed away or blown away or blown down by a tornado. The wharenui is a
place to remember about all the people that passed away. It is also a place to
have meetings for funerals or weddings.

Hi Fynn. I enjoyed working with your on this piece of writing. It was great to see you using paragraphs and to see you organising your information using numbers to help you. Your next step in writing is to learn to write paragraphs with an introductory sentence and concluding sentence.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see that you now have a basic understanding of a wharenui. Ka pai tō mahi.
