These are some examples of the explanation writing we have been doing in Room 5. We have been focusing on using the word 'because' to explain something.
Leon: Trees lose their leaves in autumn because there is wind and there is not as much sun to give the trees lunch.
John: Trees lose their leaves in winter because it is not sunny. It is frosty.
Zoe: Trees lose their leaves in winter because it is snowy and cold. There is no sun for the trees to make food.
