In Literacy: Our Year 1’s and 2’s have been working hard during our class reading hour, using our visualization skills to help us make sense of the text.

We have been working hard on our spelling, building word family lists, learning words from our writing and learning the Oxford First 100 words in writing.

We have been creating narratives during Writing learning about the structure and features in a story. Using the acronym TBMRE, we are creating stories that have a Title, Beginning, Middle, Resolution and Ending.
