Authors and Performers

The students have been writing and creating their own ‘teaching books’ and ‘stories’ during Writers Workshop. They brainstormed ideas for creating books. “What do writers write about?” 

We discussed how we can use what we already know about a topic to help us make new books. Some of the students chose to continue working on books they have made previously while others started a new book.

During Performing Arts, the students learned how to create story baskets using resources they have around them. They used the story ‘The Three Little Pigs‘ to help them think about what they need to retell the story. They began to explore how they can make their own story baskets.

Students worked at centres in the classroom to create face mask puppets, pop stick puppets and props, and playdough puppets.  

They retold and created their own stories using the props in the baskets.
