2/3 Kim / Naomi

Students in year 2/3 have been creating some wonderful pieces in writing.  Last term, students explored narratives and wrote their own version of the Jack and the Beanstalk story.  Students had to change three elements in the story.  The character Jack, the giant and the giant beanstalk. Students used a story map to plain their writing, wrote a draft and used some editing skills before they could publish their work.  Naomi and I loved reading all the fabulous stories, which we will put on display in the classroom so students can also read each other’s work.                                                       

                                           

This term, we have so far focused on learning about how to write an information report. We have been learning about how to research, plan and structure an information report.  Each day we have focused on a particular element of an information report, structure, language, layout and how to collect information for a report.  Below are some topical paragraphs students have written in their writing books.
