The Willow Pattern


The Willow Pattern, a traditional Chinese story.
We read the story of 'The Willow Pattern', listened to an audio version and viewed a power point. It was amazing to see the way parts of the story changed each time it was retold. We then retold the story in written form. Some of us have already published, some are on their second draft, others are at the proof reading and editing stage. We will publish some stories on the blog next week. We also retold the story through visual art on white paper plates using different blue media. Annie was extremely proud of our efforts which are now displayed on the wall. The Smarties reading group are retelling the story through drama (role play) and will present this in assembly on Friday.

Hi Class, Max here. I having having a wonderful time in Fiji, I have been snorkling and seen the most beautiful fish you have ever seen in your life, they were like zebras and I saw Nemo and his family - I touched some zebra fish whihc swam close to me. At night these giant bats come out and fly around - they are massive . I love the blog and have been looking on it. The willow pattern poem is awesome see you in a week from Max
