Week 5

Cross country week! All our training will be put into action this Friday. The cross country will start after interval on Friday. Everyone has been training hard and seeing results as their running times are improving - some by 4 minutes!

This week we have welcomed a new Room 3 student. Welcome to Kevin.

Also this week we have been focusing on persuasive writing. We have discussed stating our point of view clearly in our introduction then elaborating our main points in the following paragraphs, using supporting evidence to strengthen the argument. Then using our conclusion to restate our point of view. We have also discussed using emotive language to help persuade.
Homework this week includes a writing task. This gives an opportunity to practise the writing skills.

I am looking forward to wonderful homework this week as last week's was disappointing. I am looking for completed work, which is tidy and easy to read and shows evidence of effort and thought.

This week we have been finishing off the Body topic. A huge thanks to Dr Phil Blyth who came to speak to Room 3 on Friday. We learnt heaps!
We have just started our Puberty unit yesterday. It promises to be fun!
Next week we will have a go at the Rat dissection.
