The adventures of Elmer and Steve!

On Friday afternoon we made up a story about Elmer, the colourful elephant we've been learning about. We thought of adjectives to describe him, such as funny and kind. Then we thought of a different character who wasn't like Elmer - he was rude and grumpy! Jamie decided to call him Steve. We are learning how to write a story in three sentences. The first sentence introduces our characters. In the second sentence something happens. Finally, the story comes to a conclusion in the last sentence. We practised telling our story using our kung fu punctuation and using our voices for expression. We had to remember to speak clearly and in a big voice. We watched the video of our first try and decided we weren't speaking loudly enough, so we tried again. This one is much better!
