Here is their thinking about the literacy Take-Over and what they learnt.

By Maia and Sophia....

One task of the literacy take over that Maia and Sophia chose to do was create a storybird. Here is part of their reflection.....

Poem by Jade

Jade is the first person to try and write a poem using storybird.
You get to select the art and then are given the words to use, sometimes it can be a bit challenging as there are a lot of words that you need and are not in the selection.
Check out this effort....
