Being Authors

Today, as part of literacy week, Team 8 pretended they were Lynley Dodd, author of Hairy Maclary. We split into 4 teams and worked collaboratively to make up a BRAND NEW, NEVER BEEN HEARD BEFORE story, about the adventures of Hairy Maclary. 


It was awesome to watch how the teams worked so well together. Each and every person had a say about what they wanted to happen the story.





Word spread very quickly about how awesome we were....so along came.... Hairy Maclary! (Just joking - It was actually the wonderful Mrs Steel!) She was so impressed with our imaginations (not to mention our sounding of tricky words, using full stops and tidy writing) that she gave all of our stories the 'special seal of approval' with her DEPUTY PRINCIPAL sticker. 
Not everyone is lucky enough to get one of those bad boys... but WE did! 







If you're lucky enough to know someone in Team 8, you might get a chance to read the finished story in person, sometime soon. If not, here are pictures of the originals.

Well done Team 8!

    Ella wrote her own story about Haorly Maclary at home. She said she will share it as news on the next day. It will be amazing if she did do it.
