HERO AWARD EXPOSITIONS (Persuasive Arguments)

You guys rock!  🙂  I was really impressed with your expositions last week.  You used:

  • paragraphs

  • a great introduction

  • 3 good reasons AND good examples to explain EACH reason

  • a good conclusion (where you reminded the reader that they should agree with you)

  • AND VERY IMPORTANTLY – you used CONVINCING words!!! 😎

Listen to some of our students’ reading their expositions and see if they can convince you to give their Hero the award!

This is the writing NAPLAN task from last year.

Don’t forget that it is “Trash and Treasure Shop” tomorrow morning – Friday.   A great opportunity to practise paying with classroom money and giving change.  🙂  Mrs Veary

Welcome Back!

holidaysWelcome back everybody!  I am so looking forward to seeing everybody back at school on Monday.  I’ve rearranged the furniture in an interesting way – so come early to get a fun seat.  🙂  Remember, you will also need to change your home reader and be ready for the start of the day, so early to bed on Sunday and no sleeping in on Monday…

This term our inquiry is Spinning in Space so keep an eye out on the heavens over the weekend and start making a list of your wonderings about Space!
