Literacy skills are a foundational aspect of communication and expression, and the relationship of the individual student to language is central to their cognitive, socio-emotional and spiritual development. Now that we are in Class 2, and a good way through our formal reading program, our excitement for reading sentences in books has expanded to include the creation of our own sentences.
In class 2N, the current literacy main lesson is called ‘Bugs in a Blanket’. The children are exploring the basic elements of who they are as individuals and what that looks like when we come together as a group. We have been looking at the differences between us, and discovering what makes us unique and the ways in which we are the same. The students have imagined themselves as bugs and, through the use of descriptive language, have created their first real project - a children’s story book.
The children have been guided through the process of creating their own sentences and drafting a rough copy. When our good copies are ready, we will read them to one of the younger classes.
