This term in 3/4 our focus has been on natural disasters and in particular, ‘Fire and Floods’. During writing, the students have been exposed to new vocabulary words associated with our topic and then incorporating these words into our developing sentence structure.  This week, our focus was on including appositives into simple sentences. An appositive is a second noun, or a phrase, that is placed beside another noun to explain it more fully. 

We hope you enjoy some of the very interesting sentences written in class this week.
