Term 2 Writing

I am learning to:

• draw a picture that shows EXACTLY what my story is about (make a picture plan).

Success Criteria

• I said my story out loud to the teacher before she wrote to make sure it made sense.
• My picture will be a detailed plan for my story.
• I will write my full stop.

Teacher Comment

Ashley, I can see that you are getting better at drawing pictures that will show exactly what your story is about. This is important because the picture is a plan for what you will write! I love how you use lots of colours. 

Visual Art

We are learning to

• create a self-portrait
• talk about my own art work and art work created by others.

Success Criteria

• I have drawn all my facial features like my eyes and mouth. All my facial features are the right size and shape and in the right place on my face.
• I can reflect on the process I have used to create my self-portrait and discuss ideas about how I could make changes to my portrait to convey a different emotional response.
