Literacy.

Year 2 are loving the book, Fox by Margaret Wild. We finally finished reading the story today. It was full of so much rich vocabulary. The words will be listed for the students to use in their own writing...hopefully.

We are really studying visual literacy this term and this book is a fabulous text to use to study that aspect of English.

Today in particular we looked at the way the writing in text is presented amongst the pictures. In groups we thought of and discussed the reasons why the text was placed in a particular way.

Then several students reported the findings of their group.

Miss Plummer also presented her thoughts...

Next week we will all have a try at adding text to a drawing and presenting it in an interesting or visually pleasing way. Each student will need to justify why they included the writing where they did.
