Year 1 Literacy

The Grade 1 students completed lots of literacy activities for the CBCA nominated picture story books over Book Week.

One of our favourite books was,This Small Blue Dot, written and illustrated by Zeno Sworder.

With a strong message of interconnectedness, hope and empowerment, This Small Blue Dot follows a little girl exploring the big and small things in life. From contemplating our place on this ‘blue dot’ to the best Italian, Chinese and Indian desserts, the story provides a broader, more inclusive view of who we are, where we come from and where our dreams may take us.

The Grade 1 students thought about what they love about our planet and what they find amazing.

Then they wrote a letter to an alien telling them why they should come and visit this small blue dot.

Check out their awesome writing and be inspired to contemplate the things that you find amazing.
