The Very Bad Writing

Over the past few weeks we have been using our imagination to write in the style of author Andy Griffiths. We combined simple cartoons with creative thinking to make simple stories. The class has really enjoyed sharing and reading  their 'Very Bad " stories . 

We started with the Very Bad Holiday, then the Very Bad Parents  and onto the Very Bad Teacher . Of course the very bad teacher was not based on their teacher at all but the parents ...




Come in and read our stories in Room 8.

The Bunny Visit

Today I bought my bunnies to school. They are very cute.
My rabbit is white and his name is Snowy. My sister's is black and his name is Benny. My sister is called Charlotte.
You can put my bunnies on a lead and take them for a walk.



My bunnies are adorable .
