Writing instructions

As you very well know, we have done quite a lot about how to write instructions. If you click on the link below, you can see a video on how to write interesting instructions.

As you will note, the teacher in the video does not write them in sentences, as I have told you to do in class, but in a paragraph. In real fact, you can either write them out in sentences or in a paragraph. I prefer to write them in sentences because like that the different steps are clearer. However both ways are correct, as long as you explain the different steps.

Ekoskola blog

Our Ekoskola group, under the guidance of Ms. Azzopardi and Ms. Housley, is running a blog. All pupils from our school are invited to contribute to this blog by writing ideas, suggestions and comments on initiatives we can do in favour of the environment.

We have discussed a lot of such initiatives during our Social Studies lessons, so all year 6 pupils are encouraged to participate.

Welcome

After thinking about it for quite some time, I have finally decided to start a blog for my class. This blog is meant to provide a sharing space of the different activities, videos, handouts, notes and writings we cover in class. In this way the pupils will have access from home to the different material we cover in class.

My intention is that the everyday running of this blog will be left to the pupils themselves. I'm more than certain that most are going to be very willing to help me and Ms. Nathalie in keeping this blog updated.

I'm confident this will prove to be an interactive, learning and enjoyable adventure.
