Beyond the River by Joy Cowley

The MOA reading group has been reading a collection of Joy Cowley stories called Beyond the River.  The have used the app 'Popplet' to summerise what they have been reading, and then published this on Google Slides.  They have also used iMovie to make a trailer, advertising the book.  Great work team!

STOP-MOTION Madness!

We have been looking at different language features "SHAMPOO," and how we could use them to improve our writing.  We are looking to use what we have learnt in writng scripts for the MOA Kluster Awards.  

We have doing a lot of work around introducing stories.  We have worked throuh a Sheena Cameron activity called CSI, CSA, CSO.  We wrote lists about all of the different Characters, Settings, Incidents, Actions and Objects we could write about.  Then we have a go at writing some short story starters.  Have a look....

Takeahe Reading Group have been reading a Book called escape.  They have learnt about the 'Great Escape of World War One, the 'Great Harry Houdini as well as a story about surviving a flooded cave.  Have a look at all of their great work!

It's taking a while but we are getting there!
