Kinder

Kindergarten were given the above picture and were asked to write about what the boys could see, hear, feel and why they were on the wing of the plane to begin with. I was just amazed at all the children’s writing. They have all come a long way since the beginning of the year. Below are a few examples.

Year 2

Year 2 have just completed their persuasive writing unit. Below are some of their post unit cold writes. Miss Payton is really proud of all of the writing happening in Year 2!

Stage 2 - Year 3 & 4

Stage 2 have been working hard on developing their use of compound and complex sentences. The students have been focusing on using conjunctions and commas in their sentences as well as adding more details by using adjectives and adverbs. All of Stage 2 have come up with some amazing compound and complex sentences and I have included some for you to enjoy. I have very much enjoyed my time in stage 2 so far. Miss Baker (student teacher).

Stage 3 - Year 5 & 6

This term Stage 3 have been looking at developing their writing skills to enhance their text. We have looked at including metaphors, adjectives, similes and show not tell language. Using these language features in our writing allows the reader to visualise the story in their head. We are learning the more descriptive and interesting words we use in our story the more vivid the picture is in the reader's mind. Have a look and see if you can visualise our story.
