We have been working very hard with our literacy Circles in class this week.

We have been concentrating on ‘Word Wizard’. We listened to an extract called “Maniac McGee” and had to find all the powerful words and phrases. We then discussed as a class what we thought they meant and had to explain our thoughts too.  We found it interesting that we all thought different things. We also learnt that writers can really make you think, create questions and images in your head with just a few sentences.

We can’t wait until next week where we’ll be looking at vivid verbs that authors use.
