W.A.L.T- We are learning to write explanations.
Last week we started learning about how to write explanations. We had the choice of writing about: scissors, wheelbarrows, pencil sharper, bike, bow and arrow, stapler, can opener, clothes peg, and Lego bricks. I chose scissors. I really enjoyed writing this explanation! But it was a bit difficult to choose what object to explain. I think next time i'll improve my google drawing and add more info. Here's my writing! Make sure to check out the rest of my blog and feel free to give me some feedback!

What are Scissors?
Scissors are a common school supply that cuts through paper, fabric, string and cardboard. They have two handles and a blade. The handles make it easier to hold and the blade cuts. They are very handy in cutting pieces of paper to save you having to rip it. There are different parts in scissors: blade, handle, pivot point, finger rest, stopper, finger ring, inner blade and point tip.
How to use Scissors
Using Scissors is simple, you hold the two handles with the middle finger and the thumb. The middle finger goes on the the bottom finger hold and the thumb goes in the top one. Then when you want to cut, move your thumb in an up and down motion. Then simply cut the paper with the top and bottom blade on the paper.
How Scissors Work
A pair of scissors consist of a pair metal blades. They are made to be sharp like a knife. The blades are set up so that when you squeeze the handles, the sharp edges meet each other and cross each other very closely cutting through any thin material such as, paper, fabric, string and cardboard.
