Storybird!

Today Mrs Allen introduced us to a wonderful online writing website called Storybird.

Storybird uses artwork to inspire us to write. There are lots and lots of different art to choose from so we will never be short of inspiration!

Today we learnt to log in with our own usernames and select our own passwords.
Then after selecting some art we could write a picture book or a poem.

We are able to save our work to continue with for later or publish our work so that others can read it in our class.
We can even add a link to our blog so that our family can read our stories too!

We can follow other authors in our class and leave comments about their writing!

We all really loved using Storybird. It was fun to use and it's a great way of sharing our writing with others.

We can't wait to share our writing with you!

I am little but I'm a great winner!


M5 have been doing some wonderful writing based on this short video.
First we did note taking of the sequence of events in the video. We used key words and abbreviations - S= Squirrel and E= Eagle.
Then we pretended we were either the squirrel or the eagle, and we wrote a letter to our Mum or Dad telling them of our adventures that day in the forest!



Celebrations around the world!
