Enterprise

 Enterprise - Term 3 Concept

In term 3 for our Enterprise Concept we are splitting up into different classes to Dream Big and make it happen - as our key understanding tells us. We are going through the process of pursuing a dream, such as being an artist, musician, chef, author or master flytyer and fisherman. Mr Bach is of course leading the flytying brigade - and has an enthusiastic bunch of 30 boys and 2 girls, looking to design a new customised fly pattern to sell, or just catch more trout. We will be visited by two local fishing experts and go on a trip to a nearby stream.

Willem shows off Mr Bach's special fishing hat, in which he keeps all his old and famous flies. Mr Bach also shared his books, magazines, flies and flytying gear with the children.

 These sorts of images are good to use to talk to children about describing settings (places) in their writing, or orally. Mr Bach took these photos on Saturday morning with the sun coming up through the fog, behind the reserve, at the back of his house.

 When describing settings we are thinking of what the setting looks like, sounds like, smells like and feels like (or makes us feel). Characters can also be described within these scenes -  what are they doing? And there you have the start of a story or narrative. We are focusing on poetic writing this term, which includes poetry and story writing.
