The Grade 6’s will be looking at the Summarising Reading Comprehension Strategy this term. This is to promote reading comprehension in all texts that they read. Grade 6’s will be participating in a range of activities designed to improve their reading levels and we can’t wait to share the results with families.
The Grade 6’s have been working hard on their persuasive writing. They have been looking at devices and the structure of persuasive texts. As we move forward, we will be further exploring a range of techniques a writer uses to engage their audience through choices of structure and the use of language features. Toward the end of the term, we will shift our focus to historical recounts.
I chose my persuasive writing because I felt that I have used big words to describe different things, and have tried to make it make sense. Ruby
I chose this piece of work because it can easily persuade you. I have put a lot of effort into persuading you. I hope you get persuaded. Ahmed E.
I like my persuasive text because it is neat and accurate. I think I would be able to convince anyone with it. This was my first time writing an introduction, three reasons for the body and a conclusion. This piece makes me proud. Zayd.
The Grade 6’s will be continuing the SMART Spelling program this term. Each week, students will continue to be introduced to a new spelling pattern and select their own words of varying levels of difficulty from a teacher provided list. Students will then add two of their BOB words that have been identified in their own writing throughout the week. New words are sent home each Friday and students are tested on Thursdays. Homework tasks will be assigned around spelling words to ensure that they are getting them right!
