Year 5 and 6 are involved in The online writer’s workshop Little Scribes. On Monday afternoon, The students engaged in a workshop with Kirli Saunders, the author of the award winning book 'Bindi'. Kirli Saunders emphasized the use of imagery to the students when writing. The students in Year 5 completed a 10 minute activity. Below is a writing piece by Miranda and Grace.

I walk through my bedroom door, hit with the lingering smell of candles, melts and body mist. It’s quite a comforting smell.
I look around the nicely decorated room, watching the sun, ever so slowly creep in through the window, making the plants on the window sill look as if they are glowing.
I hear cars whoosh by and pull in and out of driveways. The birds fly over the house and perch upon the branches in nearby trees.

~ By Miranda ~ Year 5

These trees hold many memories;
playing, singing, and dancing.
Two kids thought of it as their bunker, or a house made of gold,
but the important thing, it has things to share.
