Narrative writing

Such excitement,
We have just finished a great experience in writing narratives. There was a lot of quality work shown here. The development of the writing went from strength to strength.

Check out our active learners, on task and captivated with creating their own narrative.


To plan this great writing we use the story mountain, here is Shanell's example of a plan.

Techno techno TECHNO TRIBE,
We are learning machines!!! We are into our tired week of writing narratives but we can only use 100 words, that's right 100 words. We are learning the value of every words and not to edit all those fabulous juicy words that make our writing so Delicious!

Maths is invested in PLACE VALUE, even in to tenths and hundredths (fractions are such amazing parts of number learning! On a side note our basic facts instant knowledge is growing and improving all the time!!!


To link into our writing we have been looking at the layout of a narrative and how to summarise a long text into fewer words. This skill has been challenging but now we are really getting into this exciting part of our learning.
