This week we have been working hard on developing the Reciprocal Reading skill of Summarising. We have been using the idea of 5-5-1. This is where we write 5 sentences about the chapter or book, 5 words to describe the book and 1 word to sum up the whole book. Here are some of our pieces of work.
We are continuing to work on the Persuasive genre of writing. This week we were arguing why pets are good for our health. We came up with some incredible reasons to convince our audience that having a pet can be incredibly beneficial for our lives and mental health. This week we have been focusing on using persuasive vocabulary, such as ‘I strongly believe’ or ‘I am certain that you will agree’ . Here are a few examples of our work.
This week has been Scottish Book Week. We have been working on a few different activities throughout the week to promote reading within our classroom. We have enjoyed listening to a few sessions of Authors Live, we have taken part in Stop Drop and Read everyday and have been busy designing and making a diorama scene from our favourite books.
We hope you have enjoyed reading about some of our learning so far this week.
