We have been super busy writing explanations & poems for the Greats & Grands Day.  I have written an explanation about sore back and how grandparents can cope.

Beginning	Title Copy your explanation title here.	How Grandparents Cope with a Sore Back
	1st paragraph Define and describe what you are explaining.	A grandparent is a person who is old enough for their baby to have a baby. When people start to get old different parts of their bodies start to get worn out and they can no longer do what they could do before. This is called aging and it causes many problems. One aging problem that a grandparent may have to deal with is a sore back.

Middle	2nd paragraph Write about one thing you can do to cope with a sore back	One thing that a grandparent can do to cope with a sore back is to stretch when you get in to bed and out of bed. This will get their muscles warmed up.
	3rd paragraph Write about a second thing you can do to cope with having a sore back	A second thing they can do is to go and get a massage. I have not had a massage before, but my mum has and before she got her massage her back was really sore. After she had her massage she felt really good so a massage might work for a grandparent with a sore back.
	4th paragraph Write about a third thing you can do to cope with a sore back	A third thing that a grandparent could do is to take a special sort of medicine and maybe get a special cream for their back.
End	5th paragraph Wind up your writing.	I think that any grandparent could try one of the things that I have suggested because I think that one of these might be helpful.
