About Our Writing
We are using the iDeaL platform to help us become better writers. Our spelling lessons give us the building blocks we need to put words on the page. To make our writing neat and easy to read, we'use the "Sky, Grass, Dirt" and Casey Caterpillar strategies for forming our letters correctly. We' are also exploring different types of writing, like sharing our own personal experiences in a recount, and painting a picture with words in descriptive writing.

Term 2, Week 8: WALT plan and write an imaginative text using compound sentences.
Writing - The Year 3000It's time to use your imagination! Imagine that you have woken up in the year 3000. Let's plan a paragraph, describing what you see. You can start by drawing a picture. Then you can write a few words to describe your ideas. Next, you can put your ideas into a few sentences. Don't forget to use FANBOYS in your sentences.
Take your time. You don't have to finish this all at once.
Let's practice some handwriting. Remember these key points to keep our writing neat and tidy:
Casey Caterpillar strategies (e.g. tall stick, open mouth, possom tail, gumnut cup, tunnel...)
Sky, Grass, Dirt: the sky is for tall sticks, the grass is for open mouth, tunnel, wide open mouth, the dirt is for possum tails and hanging sticks.
Let Nessy help with your spelling.
Let's start learning about how to use adjectives in our writing.
Handwriting Practice
Practice writing your letters and heart words in your homework books. Remember how Casey Caterpillar forms the letters:
m - short stick, tunnel, tunnel s - Sammy Snake f - feeler, twig
a - open mouth, short stick p - hanging stick, closed gate
t - tall stick, twig c - open mouth
i - short stick, ladybird dot
Can you rearrange the sentences into the correct order?
