    Something has completed a full cycle

    Kia ora. We have made it to the end of Term One!  Phew, how long has it been since we were able to spend a full term together at school?  Thank you for your work this term.  We started our response to text unit by selecting novels from the library, we have explored the structure of a text (Theme, rising action, characters, climax etc) and written to explain our ideas.  We have then spent some time looking at procedure writing - identifying the structure and elements that make a good procedure.  Procedural writing is a skill you will use throughout your life.  Being able to give clear and correct instructions applies to many facets of your life.  Procedures are not always written, often they are verbal instructions.  We do not have a library session this week, but books can be returned during lunchtime.

    Success Criteria:

        • Identify the structure of procedure
        • Include all information necessary
        • Check procedure is accurate

    Activities:

    1. In pairs, complete Drawing Twins activity
    2. Swap roles
    3. Reflection on task - what made instructions easier or more challenging to complete

    Further Learning:
    Read a book
