Talk for Writing

This half-term,  the pupils in Year 5 are expected to produce an explanation text, focusing on the water cycle.

According to writing experts, pupils produce high-quality writing after they have familiarised themselves with the language and structure in a similar writing piece. Therefore, we text-mapped an explanation text on how materials change state (using just icons and a few words).

Here is a sneak peak:

PS. Look out for our explanation texts on the water cycle!

 

 

What is your favourite book?

Greetings,

World Book Day was yesterday and in Year 5, we had an incredibly fun time exploring the book, ‘We are all born free’. In honour of World Book Day, I thought it would be nice to find out what everyone’s favourite book is.

I’ll get the ball rolling, for me it’s either ‘The Da Vinci Code’ or any book from the ‘Divergent Series’.

What is your favourite book? Comment below! (It could be anything, including your home reading books and books we’ve read in class.)
