Time for some fun...who remembers these?!!! One of my lovely students was very excited to show me a cassette tape that his Mum gave to him! Together we had a look online to see if you can still buy cassette players...and you can!

We always start the lesson with news and sharing; my students always have lots to tell me!

My older creative writing students are exploring personification by bringing a setting to life. Using an image of a dust storm in the desert, they imagine they are filming the scene and describe what they can see, hear, feel, touch, and smell.

By giving the storm, trees, and desert human qualities, students learn how personification can make their writing more vivid and engaging.
