This term in Year 3, the students have been learning to write explanation texts. They have learnt about the structure and language features of this particular text type. Over the last two weeks the students have been learning about how a kite works. To enhance their understanding of vocabulary and technical language, they made a kite. The students were able to use a variety of oral language to explore vocabulary and apply the technical language while constructing the kite. They will then have the opportunity to independently construct an explanation text about how a kite works.
