<\/p>\nDundee clan have immersed themselves in all things non-fiction.\u00a0 We have been looking at non-fiction books and texts and exploring the features of these compared to fiction books.\u00a0 We have begun learning about how to write an information report and explored examples of this type of text finding out about the purpose, the sections that make up an information text and what the purpose of these sections are. We will continue to explore this over the weeks ahead.\u00a0 We have also started our new class novel \u2018Rivet Boy\u2019 which is based in the past, at the time of the construction of the Forth Rail bridge which links to our IDL learning about the Victorians and engineering.<\/p>\n
We really enjoyed learning about jobs that children did in the Victorian times.\u00a0 We learnt about the types of jobs they were expected to do for little money and with no safety laws.\u00a0 We were very shocked at some of the information we learnt.\u00a0 We had a go at putting ourselves in the children\u2019s shoes by taking part in a \u2018Hot-Seating\u2019 Task.\u00a0 This is where the children pretend that they are a child from the past and the rest of the group or clan ask questions about what life is like for them in the Victorian times and what it is like to work.\u00a0 The children were very believable in their roles and got a real feel for what it must have been like for children in those times.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We have also really enjoyed learning our example information report text about \u2018firefighters\u2019.\u00a0 We used visual pictures to support us learning the text and came up with some amazing actions to go with it and we all were able to say the text.\u00a0 The whole clan loved learning this and are looking forward to learning more about this type of writing and having a go ourselves.<\/p>\n
