The Year 6.2 students are preparing a puppet show as part of their literacy week. Students can be seen working on the script and props. The puppet show will be presented to the kindergarten students shortly.
The teacher animated the story Stone Soup . Students also enjoyed animating parts of the story. Then, the class discussed the story elements. Afterwards, students were given a template of a plan with pictures and they wrote the characters, the setting of the story etc…Another plan was given, this time they had the question words or phrases only so that they could modify some parts of the story from the previous plan. In so doing, the students made the text more interesting and relevant to them.
Finally, they were given the text of the story in the form of a paragraph and they had to change the underlined text according to their second plan. During reading sessions students not only draw their favourite scene and character but they also write why.

Afterwards, they created their own strawberry muffin using fresh strawberries, homemade strawberry jam and some chocolate chips.
