Great learning is happening in English as Year 3 have studied the authors David Walliams and Anthony Browne. Students have really developed their ability to compose Character Descriptions.

Year 4 have been engaged in their learning about Australian author Paul Jennings, exploring his writing techniques and style. They have loved hearing how Jennings uses his own life experiences as a child, to present his ‘quirky’ sense of humour and allowing lots of connections.
