In literacy we have been reading traditional stories from around the world, mainly about how different animals got their distinguishing features. We have all planned and written our own versions of these. We have also been looking at effective story telling techniques such as using gestures, changing our voices and using facial expressions. From our plans we told our own stories and the class watched them. We assessed each other to see how well we used different story telling techniques. Everyone did brilliantly. Here are some of the stories with the highest scores from the class. We hope you enjoy them!
