Summarising!

Before the holidays we visited the school library to look for Christmas stories. We had a class vote and used tally marks to vote for the story we wanted to read the most. The most popular story was ‘The Snowman’ and we used it to learn about summarising. First of all we picked out the main points of the story together then worked in groups to create freeze frames. Then we had to guess what main point each group was portraying. After that we put them in order and finally we wrote summaries independently, including all of the main points.  Well done boys and girls!
