Year 6 students learn to write narratives

Writing is an integral part of learning at MLC School. Throughout this term, Year 6 students have been exploring how to write narratives – easier said than done! The girls faced a number of challenges. The hardest of all was condensing ideas into a short, logical sequence that had a beginning, middle and end. Class 6F explored many ways to create exciting narratives. The process culminated in personifying three items found in the classroom:

• Scissors
• A ball
• A lunchbox

The girls wrote a story from the perspective of one of these items. After a process of self and peer editing, exciting stories evolved. To celebrate the achievements with this writing task, we invited Class 4C to join us. The stories were shared and enjoyed. The Year 4 girls were then asked to help create some illustrations for the stories. The finished products have been collated into a book of short stories to be available in the Junior School library. 

Learning and sharing across the grades – collaboration at its best.
