Conjunction Junction!

I think we have adverbs under control so we're off on another grammar adventure. This time we will be finding out all we can about conjunctions.

Check out this cool video! This is just what we need to begin our journey of knowledge!

Task 1 - Poetry

In our first online writing task, we will take a look at the future. . .

Follow the model:
When I look into the future
There is/are . . .
There is/are . . .
There is/are . . .
But there isn't/aren't any . . .

Example 1:
When I look into the future
There are robots
There are aliens
There are saucers in the sky
But there aren't any birds.

Example 2:
When I look into the future
There's a memory stick in my head
There's a tracking device under my feet
There's a monitor behind my eyes
But there isn't a computer

You get the idea. Now it's your turn. Have fun!!!!!!!!!

Procedure Writing

Writing is an important means of communication. When writing procedures/instructions/recipes/directions we must be clear and concise.

The template we are using is as follows:

1) First, state an objective or goal or purpose.

2) Then, list the materials (or ingredients) needed. List them in the order
of use.

3) Next, list the steps needed to complete the task. Must be listed in order!

4) Finally, if the instructions are for a scientific experiment list the results.

Remember to use transitional words (first, second, third, next, then, after
that, finally, etc.).

It's that easy!

Get Well Soon Mrs. Bradford

Year 4B is sending well wishes to Mrs. Bradford! We each made a "get well" card to show her how much we care about her. Get well soon, Mrs. Bradford! We miss you!

Introductions . . .

Carer (Becoming a Care-taker) - a 2nd term goal

This is the start of a brand new year. This morning we explored what it meant to be a "carer", that is, to think of others and their needs and what it means to take care of someone else. Each of us reflected on this topic and wrote in our journal just what it meant to be a "carer".

Below, please let us introduce ourselves and our personal reflection/definition of a "carer".
