Shared writing - Letter to parents about our field trip:
Dear mom and
dad,
Hello! The Manga Workshop we we went to yesterday was fun. We learned how to draw our own character. We drew a boy and a girl. We got to roll a dice and choose which hair style, eyes,
nose and face to draw. We learned that if we draw our eyes on the top half of
our face, it will make the character look older. If we draw our eyes on the
bottom half of our face and make it look bigger, the character will look
younger.
We will
start to draw our own comic at school and link into our inquiry – How we
express ourselves. Can’t wait to show you my comic! School is great!
From,
Grade 1s
