//During term three our class will be covering the HSIE learning focus ‘Understanding each other’. This unit of work enables students to// //explore different cultures, customs, viewpoints and types of relationships in order to better understand each other. Tasks within this unit of work have been designed to foster clarification of individual and cultural differences and the value of understanding similarities and differences. Students develop values and attitude such as tolerance and respect related to intercultural understanding and beliefs and moral codes.//



//4K has recently looked at descriptive texts with grammar focusing on improving adjectives and adverbs. After our recent excursion to the Australian Reptile Park the class contributed to a joint construction of a description of the park. This was amazingly accurate and expressive.// //We are now moving on to narratives.// //The exposure to descriptive texts prior to the study of narratives enables students to write stories with language that communicates vivid expression.//
