Weird and Wacky Writing Tasks

 In Room 3 we have been doing some creative writing based on bugs and animals. We had to pretend that we were the bug or animal and then think about what we would be doing.

This was a fun writing task but it was a bit tricky at times to imagine ourselves as bugs or animals.

Check out our writing on our learning blogs which can be found on the left hand side of our blog screen.

If you could be any bug or animal what would you choose to be and why?

Room 3 Recipe Book

 This term we have been working on Procedural writing. This is a type of writing where you tell the audience or reader how to do something. We all wrote out recipes for our procedural writing tasks.

Have a look at our Class Cookbook below.

We really enjoyed putting together this Cookbook as we all enjoy making and eating delicious food and drinks.

What is your favourite recipe to cook at home?
