Term 2 Reflection: 

With the end of term coming up, we wanted to take this opportunity to celebrate all that we have achieved in the Senior School this term. Let’s take a look at some work samples from across the Grade 5 & 6 classes.

5B -Writing: In 5B we are learning about paraphrasing in writing. We have chosen an expert topic to write an informative text about.  The first thing we had to do was to get all our information into a paragraph document. Then we had to identify the key words out of the paragraph. After that we had to paraphrase in our own words. This means we had to use the keywords that we got and then turn the piece of information into our own words. In the end we ended up with two fully done information reports.
