My Granny by Luke Stratford

My Granny has white curly hair. She likes to read me fairy tales. She really loves her goldfish. She also likes diamonds and crystals. She wears sparkly purple glasses. In her garden she has a vegetable patch. In her vegetable garden she has strawberries, lettuces, carrots and tomatoes.

Feedback:

You have begun a good description and used some describing words and similes but need to tell a little more about what your granny looks like to get a picture in the reader’s mind.

Next Steps:

1.    Add more details to show what your Granny looks like. How tall is she? You could use a simile to show this.

2.   Check the WALT criteria to see if you have included all you need in your writing.

We are learning to create a piece of music using a 4 beat pattern.

We know we have done that when…

-       we can use the ta,  ti-ti and sah symbols

-       we can clap the beat in time

-       we can work with a partner, put two patterns together and present the piece to the class.

We know we have done that when we show we

Student voice:

I showed the Competency of Managing myself when I finished the picture I had begun and by tidying up without being asked.

I got the Self-Managing certificate when I cleaned up after myself without being asked.

I was able to relate to others when I played nicely with the construction equipment.
