    Assistant Principal Learning & Teaching...

    Year One Writing

    Year one were delivered a package earlier this week. It was a stimulus that created a purpose for writing. The students have been learning to write an orientation at the beginning of their text. The orientation sets the scene, mood and characters. We can't wait to open the package in Week 10! Some of their orientations are highlighted below:

    One cold morning Mrs Coster raced inside the Year One classroom. She was carrying a box. The box fell off the table. Crash! But it was as light as a feather.

    By Winnie

    On Tuesday morning Mrs Coster excitedly came bolting in through the classroom door. She screamed, “You’ve got a package!” Year One shouted, “YES!” But Mrs Coster said, “ You can’t open it yet, not until Week 10”. “OHHHHH,” said Year One.
