What have you enjoyed learning about in English? |
"I have enjoyed learning new things. I like improving my writing. I have enjoyed my hot task which was a quest tale. The characters were going on an adventure. I enjoy learning the actions and boxing up really helps you when you are doing the hot task." Johan - Year 2
"I have really enjoyed the big pieces of writing! I love the hot task because I can use my imagination. I like fiction and non -fiction. I like learning something new in non- fiction. I love learning the text together, learning the actions. It is fun to do it with the class. I get to practice at home and put on a show for my mum and dad. I like how confident I feel in the hot task at the end." Rea - Year 3

"I have enjoyed writing stories and lots of different texts. It is really fun to use your own ideas. I like learning a story and retelling it independently. It helps me to know a story so I can write another one." Vincent - Year 3 |

What to do if you don’t understand the work? |
