Well we have got off to a good start for Term 3. After ending term 2 exploring procedural writing, using action verbs in cooking, the students cooked nachos then wrote about it. The focus for the upcoming weeks is exploring explanatory writing:

• Using Action Verbs to describe the movement in every day Machines

To do this we will be:

• Watching videos about machines
• Compling an action verb bank
• Drawing and designing a Rube Goldberg machine to perform an everyday task
• Describing the movement the machine makes

Then after this our focus will be using similes and metaphors to enhance meaning in writing. 

To do this we will be:

• Investigating the seasons and the science behind them
• Using technical vocabulary unique to the seasons
• Using descriptive features such as similes and metaphors to enhance meaning

I look forward to seeing the students engaging further with writing whilst having fun doing it!
