Our Favourite Books - Literacy week

What an exciting start to Literacy week.

Some children got to share their favourite books.
Griffin told us he loves tractors and that is why this is his favourite book.

Cairo thought that the Dinosaurs did some funny things in his favourite book.

Team 8 thought they were great books.
Keep checking the blog to see the rest of our favourite books.

Retell Ribbons

Last week Team 8 made 'Retell Ribbons'.  We made them to help us talk about the stories and books we are reading.

On Friday we paired up with a friend and had a go at retelling the story Mrs Turner had read to us. For our first time doing this, Mrs Turner thinks we did pretty well!

Two of us were even brave enough to retell the story in front of the WHOLE class! Future 'public-speaking-superstars' in the making!

We learned that we could talk about the setting, characters, problems and solutions (happy endings). 

Why don't you see if we can retell a story you read to us at home!
