Over the past few weeks in literacy, we have been learning to retell a story off by heart using actions to help us remember the words and sequence. It’s called Little Charlie and here is a little video of our class reciting it using expression for the characters' voices as well as the actions for the connectives and nouns. They learnt this story within three days! They have done so well! We have even let the students take over from the Teachers as the main story tellers too and they get to wear the special Storytellers Cloak.

We are now beginning to plan our own stories using the same structure but changing the characters, setting and the goodies in the bag. The students have been thinking of lots of adjectives and adverbs that they could put into their story. Maybe they could tell you about their main character and where their story will be set.

As always, we are working hard on handwriting and presentation too, in preparation for ‘publishing’ our stories next week.
