This term the Year 6s dove into their Literacy Learning with a provocation of making SNOW, in preparation for their study of Informative Texts and writing about Frost Dragons. The Year 6s also drew some amazing dragon eyes and orally learnt our Model Text by heart before competing against the rest of the cohort. We introduced the genre of Informative texts using a mythical creature to aid students in understanding the structure and writing techniques taught, without them also having to focus on researching and finding facts for a topic. This way when the students have to transfer their knowledge to 'doing this' for their final assessment, they will have a great chance of experiencing success.
