This week for writing, we have started looking at instructional writing.

We explored features of recipes by looking for vocabulary used in Mr Flood’s cook books.

We created our own word bank, then wrote our own recipes for an onion soup!

We just finished our mini country comparison topic on Canada.

During this topic we:

• Compared animals from Scotland and Canada and learned how different  adaptations make animals more suited for different climates and habitats.
• Wrote a persuasive letter to Mrs McGuigan to persuade her to let us have a school trip to Canada.
• Researched foods from Canada – maple syrup in particular.
• Today we ended it with enjoying some pancakes with maple syrup ourselves!
