Learning about the solar system.

Kia ora, my name is Shirley rose and this term Room 3 has been learning about the solar system and the sun, what I have learnt from researching is how the sun is a star,and how the sun is a yellow dwarf, that powers our solar system with heat and light. All though,did you all know that mercury is the smallest and innermost planet in our solar system? well I guess you didn’t all know about how the Moon is Earth’s natural satellite, a rocky body with a diameter of about 3,476 kilometers (2,159 miles). anyways I hope you enjoyed reading what room 3 is learning about this term.

Introduction to Explanation writing

We are learning about explanation writing and how to structure our ideas using the TIIC and SEE frameworks. An explanation text is a type of writing that tells us how or why something happens. It provides clear information, logical sequencing, and detailed examples to help the reader understand a process or concept.

Today, we explored what makes a good explanation and practised identifying key features in a model text. We worked on a highlighting task to find the Title, Introduction, Information, and Conclusion, as well as the Statement, Explanation, and Example in each paragraph.

Next, we’ll use this knowledge to write our own explanation texts.
