Paragraphs - topic sentences and supporting sentences

We have been learning about paragraphs to help us improve our paragraph writing skills.  Today we worked with a buddy to complete a special challenge.  We were given some sheets of paper with sentences on them.  First we had to cut the sentences apart and find pairs of sentences that belonged together (were about the same topic).  Then we had to work out which sentence was the topic sentence (the big idea that the paragraph was going to be about) and which sentence was a supporting sentence (a detail or an example or some more evidence about the big idea).  Here are some photos of us working with our buddies.  We will be making some presentations about how to write a paragraph so check our individual blogs soon!
