Highlight 

Brrr! It was so cold and my body was tingling as I began to shiver.  In Writing this week we have been learning to add detail and engage the reader when writing imaginative recounts. Students have demonstrated creativity and a love of learning to improve their work by adding adjectives and using capital letters and full stops. 

In Reading we have been learning to visualise what we hear. Students have been encouraged to make a movie in their mind and use their imagination. Students did an amazing job showing creativity when making artwork in response to different stories in "Where the Forest Meets the Sea" and "Hidden Forest". See below for some wonderful photos of all the exciting and engaging activities we are doing in 1/2!

Thanks to all our wonderful families for your continued support!
