Term 3 has been a busy term for year one as they have been learning to write descriptive retells. They are getting very clever in using nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs to vividily describe what happens in the beginning, middle and end of a story.

The children have been illustrating, using puppets and acting out their retells to entertain each other and practice their use of new vocabulary.

The children have also been learning about good listening and speaking techniques through pretending to interview a character. After creating interesting questions, they then present them to their friends and enjoy their responses. Dressing up and using microphones add to the fun!
