Exploring Information Texts

9/19/2014

0 Comments

 
This week we have been working hard to explore information texts. We have talked about contents pages, index pages, titles, headings, diagrams, labels, fact sentences and captions. Puma class worked hard in groups to find these features in non=fiction books as well as reading a range of them.

We have been studying the artist Henri Rousseau and his jungle paintings. Looking carefully at the shapes he used to create jungles that he had never seen, we were inspired to sketch our own jungle pictures for our class animals.

Following from our work on the body parts of humans and animals, we also talked and acted out the importance of exercise. How many facts can your child remember about why exercise is important?
