Week 1We began our new unit of worked called
ONE WORLD , MANY STORIES.The junior school classes rotated around all 6 classrooms.In each classroom we took part in a different activity about stories.
Mrs Trinh showed us that stories can be told through pictures. We had to look at the first and last picture and then draw what happened in between.

Miss Ialuna taught us about Readers’ Theatre. We enjoyed acting out the roles in the play.
We recorded our play on the flip camera. It is very funny to watch ourselves back on the interactive whiteboard.

Miss Fleming introduced us to 3 stories written by our Author in Residence, Corinne Fenton.
We loved listening to “Flame Stands Waiting”, “The Dog on the Tuckerbox” and “Queenie”.

We had to take our favourite books to Mrs Hamblin and Miss Fitzgerald’s classroom. We shared our books and then completed a booklet about why we chose it as our favourite book.
![Page 5: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
In Miss Parker’s class we learnt that stories can be told orally, just by a person telling the story. They don’t always have to be read from a book.
Long ago, this was the way that stories were passed down from parents and grandparents to their children. In some countries where they don’t have many books this is still the way that stories are passed on.
![Page 6: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Mrs Moy read stories from different cultures. We looked at an Aboriginal dreamtime story, a Traditional Chinese story and a Bible story about Noah’s Ark.
We learnt that stories can
be funny
We can learn about other
countries through stories.Stories can teach us lessons
We can learn about the past from stories.
Stories can be read, listened to, seen on a screen or acted out. Even dance can tell a story!

Corinne Fenton visited St Clement of Rome school in July 2011. She showed us some of her books that she had written.
![Page 9: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
We had to vote on which story she would read to us. The choices were “Queenie”, “The Dog on the Tuckerbox” and “Flame Stands Waiting.” We listened to “Queenie”.
![Page 10: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Corinne Fenton is the author of these books.
![Page 11: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
At the end of the session, Corinne answered some questions. Andrew asked, ”What is your favourite word?” Corinne answered, ”Whispered.”
![Page 12: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
We felt happy when she read us a book.
We felt sad when Corinne had to leave.
We wonder what we will do when she returns?
![Page 13: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In week 3 we began an author study about
Pamela Allen.
We read three books written by Pamella Allen and we compared them.
![Page 14: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Mr McGee and the Big Bag of Bread
Mr Archimedes ‘ Bath Mr McGee and the Biting Flee
1M compared 3 Pamela Allen books. We found some similarities and some differences and placed them on a Venn Diagram.
-A large treeMr McGee was hurt.-Rhyming
-Animals-1 person-Mr-Cross hatch shading-water
naked
![Page 15: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Danni, a parent from 1HF came to teach us how to
sketch like Pamela Allen.
She showed us how to shade using cross hatching
and then she showed us how to make things have a 3-
D effect and texture by gradually shading with
crayons.
![Page 16: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
We looked at the style of shading that Pamela
Allen uses often in her illustrations and tried
out those techniques.
![Page 17: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
We really listened to her and then tried out her ideas.
Wow...who knew we were so skilful!
![Page 18: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Together we read a book written by our author in residence, Corinne Fenton, called, “Flame Stands Waiting.”
It was a beautiful story about a carousel horse, a girl named Clara and wanting something enough to make it real.
![Page 19: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
We each drew a picture of the main character-Clara , and then on the page underneath we wrote words to describe her.......
What interesting Character Portraits we created!
![Page 20: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Character Web
In our literacy rotations this week we did some activities about character studies. We thought about the characters in Pamela Allen books and filled out these Character webs on the computer.We had to save them into our own folders.
![Page 21: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

In another literacy activity, we had to read these character traits and highlight the ones that we thought described our special person.
![Page 22: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The author Corinne Fenton visited us again for a second visit. She spoke to us about how we felt about the special person in our lives that we are going to write about.
![Page 23: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
We listened to music and were encouraged
to draw or write how it made us feel.
![Page 24: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Character StudyAs part of our reading rotations we completed character webs about a favourite character from a Pamela Allen book
We compared character traits on worksheets as well as filling out templates on the computer.
![Page 25: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
We are getting very good at saving documents into our own folders on the computer.
![Page 26: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
This week’s session with our Artist in Residence...
We learnt another technique using crayons and scratching to colour our mice.
First we coloured in our mice in a light colour; then we went over it in either black or brown.
Then we used our very sharp grey lead pencils to scratch over the top.
![Page 27: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
This week’s session with our Artist in Residence...
Then we scattered our mice on Mr McGee’s tree and all through the room. Be careful, you don’t know where you'll find one!
Can you see Black Dog in the tree?
![Page 28: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
This week, we looked at some picture story books and we chose some good story starters. The story starter is the opening sentence.
Story starters are like hooks to get you interested in the story – questions might pop into your head and you want to read the book.
We thought about what story starters we could use in our own stories.
![Page 29: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
We started thinking about the collages about our special person. We were inspired by Jeannie Baker’s books.
.
We got some green and blue paint and made backgrounds which we are going to cut out for our collages. We used sponges and brushes to get special effects.
![Page 30: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
We hunted outside for materials we might need for our collage
We practised making different textures with crayon rubbings.
![Page 31: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
This week we looked at the Black dog book by Pamela Allen and Mila’s Mum Danni, showed us how to use pastels and crayons to blend colours on our bluebirds. The combination of pencil lines and smudging made our bluebirds look fantastic!
![Page 32: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Firstly we had to use a grey lead to draw the shading.
Next we used pastels to blend colours and create our wonderful bluebirds. We think Pamela Allen would be proud of us!
![Page 33: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
This week we are looking at a book called “Clancy and Millie and the Very Fine House.”After listening to the story a few times we had to go on to PowerPoint and retell the story in our own words. We had to fill in the blank spaces on the PowerPoint.
![Page 34: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
We also looked at what made a ‘Sensational Sentence Starter!’After looking at a selection in picture story books, this is what we decided on.
We had a go at writing sensational story starters ourselves. We were very proud of our efforts. We all managed to write really interesting sentences. Mrs Moy can’t wait to read our stories now that she has read such exciting story starters.
![Page 35: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

This week we used our sensational story starters to begin drafting our special person stories.
We are trying very hard to be creative and use interesting language just like a real author. Why use boring words when there are so many wonderful words that paint a picture in the reader’s head!
![Page 39: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
We looked at the language in books and thought about boring ways the author could have said something, and how beautiful their words actually were......
It was like crawling into a dreamy world, where twisting plants grew tall as trees.There were tall trees in the garden.
Which do you prefer?
![Page 40: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
![Page 41: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Look at all these interesting words we can use!
![Page 42: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Before we started writing we talked to our partners about a precious time we shared with our special person. Talking always helps to get ideas clear in our minds before we start to put those ideas on paper as stories or to create our collages.
![Page 43: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
We had to do our backgrounds first, layering all different sorts of materials onto our sheet to get a 3D effect. Then we added our people.
![Page 44: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
We were inspired by looking at Jeannie Baker’s books.
![Page 45: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Our collages look great, but what a mess we made!
It is a good thing that we are also great at cleaning up!
![Page 46: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Week 9 We reached the stage where we needed to check and edit our special person stories.
This is the checklist that we must fill out with a friend before we go to our teacher.
It is always helpful to read our stories to a friend to see if we have made any mistakes.
![Page 47: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
When we check it with a friend, we use a red pencil to make suggestions of corrections that are needed.
![Page 48: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
The next step is to read through our stories with our teacher and discuss any ways that we could improve them. Our teachers are there to make helpful suggestions.
Finally when we are happy with our stories we type the up and save them in a folder ready to be sent to the publishers.
Wow! We really are authors!
![Page 49: 1 m powerpoint for Book Launch](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554c8b15b4c905df3c8b5726/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Week 10
This week we finished our One World Many Stories unit of work.
We felt like real authors as we wrote the biography piece . We had to write about ourselves so that we could include it on our story boards along with our special person stories and our collages.
