Focus on Grade 3

In Grade 3 we have begun the term with some new units and new learning. In writing, we have been learning about information texts. We have explored some good quality examples of informational texts; analysing their strengths and weaknesses. We then generated ideas about topics we are extremely knowledgeable in, such as specific sports, famous people, places or hobbies. We are using this as the basis for our first information report. Each of us noted all the facts we knew about one of our chosen topics, and have begun to construct paragraphs about this topic, using topic sentences and supporting details to structure our paragraph writing. Here are some examples of our learning and of our writing.
