Recently we have been writing a report on the countries that will be participating in the rugby world cup.
I enjoyed researching and finding out about the history of Wales.
I found it challenging to publish it since I had no draft. ( I was gone for a few days and ended up behind on my report writing)
My digital learning object shows my report on the country Wales.
Next time I would try to write more detailed sentences.
