Grade 1/2 M with Margaret

Elfie and Rose and the Dragon    Written by Grade 1/2M 

 

 

I love the story. It was fun making them. With the artist writing on the smartboard we had to write the same thing and then we drew a picture. I liked the artist. We had so much fun with the Artist in the School. - Ditya

On Monday Margaret read us the story called "Pod the Wood Elf". Its about a boy and a squirrel. On Tuesday we wrote our own story about Rose, Elfie and the Dragon. It was fun because we drew pictures and coloured. I made my own book. - Alisha

First we listened to a story and then we drew pictures. First we learned about fairy tales and we drew Elfie and Rose and the Dragon. We voted for which characters we wanted in our story. We had to draw happy, sad, mad, in love, laughing your head off and jealous faces. I had fun and I'm glad we got to draw faces. I liked Margaret. - Darius
