Welcome Chapple Families
As
we move into the Term 3, we have been increasingly looking to develop our
emerging literacy skills. The use of oral language is vital in helping children
pre read and it has given us such great pleasure to see how the children have
embraced this.
After
reading the story of the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch and setting up our own
lighthouse and pulley system, the children decided to retell the story.
Harrison
T: I’m
Mr Grindling.
Doane: I’m Mrs
Grindling.
Harrison
T:
She is going to send me a lovely lunch like in the story.
Scarlett: I will tell the
story. (She proceeded to model reading) There is a wire and they send it to Mr
Grindling. She made a delicious lunch and send it down. The scary seagulls took
the lunch from the wire.
Doane: The food is
coming Mr Grindling. These are the mustard seeds. Go away Seagulls.
Loukas: Here I come, a
seagull. We need three. Come here Angus.
Angus
T:
We have lunch to get!
We
also retold the story of the Three Little Pigs, including our own silly versions,
involving the sound of the week P, with the pigs living in pumpkins, pears and
pineapples.
