Writing: Editing and Publishing



We have been learning to edit and publish our writing. 
We first write a draft story. 
Then we use this code to edit our writing.
After we conference with the teacher we are ready to publish!
When we publish we don't skip a line, we use our edited words, and we write as neat as we can.

We have also been learning how to use the iPad and Explain Everything to publish and talk about our writing. Here is a sample of Explain Everything from Matthew:


Habitats - Savanna Part 1


We have been creating a Savanna Diorama in class to help us with our thinking on habitats, their features and what makes animals suited to them. We will also use this habitat to look how we can protect habitats.
We are also creating a watering hole, grass, trees, and rocks.

The Year 1s and the Year 7/8s have been doing the Garden to Table. This week they bought us the food the made with the ingredients from the garden.
