Literacy

This week we are writing our own dinosaur stories and learning about Diwali.  We will be also be reading the story of Rama and Sita and sequencing the story before re-telling it in our own words focussing on writing the story with a beginning, middle and end.  We are working hard to ensure our sentences have a conjunction and an adjective.
