In Term 4, Stage 2 is lucky enough to be working with a professional author in Term 4 once a week with the company WestWords
The project will be running for the first 5 weeks of the term and has already started off with a bang! The students are working hard on the way they craft stories, different features of texts, and getting feedback from a professional author. In the weeks to come, they will also have an opportunity to be working alongside a professional Illustrator. We look forward to seeing the student’s creative writing develop and to the students’ turning into authors.

πππ A Very Grinchy Late Entry πππ I was sulking in my cave on Mount Crumpitβs high peak, Dodging all that βMerry Christmas!β nonsense all week. Then Maxβs phone buzzed with a terrible glare Those St. Nicholas doorsβ¦ everywhere. EVERYWHERE! Tinsel explosions! Ribbons out of control! Each classroom door sparkling like a disco for the soul. And the βlikesβ and the βlovesβ? Tumbling in like a tide, I nearly fainted right thereβUGH, too much joy schoolwide! Those teachers were laughing, jingling with cheer, Grinning wider than Cindy-Lou Who ear to ear. βSpreading joy! Spreading cheer!β they shouted with glee I gagged so dramatically, Max thought it was me! βThese crafty creators with glittery bows, Making kids smile wherever they goes! Well NOT on my watch,β I growled with a roar, βMy heartβs tiny, my moodβs awful, and I LIKE being sore!β So off to Penrith I marched with my grumpiest face, βIβll teach those St Nicholas teachers to smile with grace! Iβll steal all their doors, stamp out every trace of cheer, Not even St Nicholas himself can stop the mean old Grinch this year!β I walked to Penrith and finally found the school, When I saw it in person, I was horrifiedβwhat a jewel! So I stole those festive doors along with their Christmas spirit, Then found a cozy office to restβIβd reached my limit! So donβt like or love, or giggle or cheer, Each reaction you make will make me stomp and sneer!
