In 2A Riseley, we have been learning about narratives and how to create a setting, characters and a problem that keeps the reader engaged. We have also been developing our descriptive language and how to use it to make our writing more interesting. We used a spooky picture as a prompt and were able to come up with lots of different language using our 5 senses of see, taste, hear, smell, and touch.

We have also been working on our tally and graphing skills during maths time. As a class, we used the school grounds to collect sticks, flowers, rubbish, and leaves that were laying around on the ground. We then came back to the classroom to sort our collections in our groups and used that information to create a tally and graph to show what we found. Students were able to identify that we were not only learning, but also helping clean up our environment.
