Then- I thought..... change was to do with chrysallises turning into butterflies

Term 2 writing sample

I am learning to:

1. Make my writing interesting by using describing words

2. Attempt to use capital letters and full-stops by myself

Success criteria:

I will know I can successfully do this when my writing shows

1. One or more Adjectives that match my picture

A capital letter at the start of my story and at the beginning of each new sentence.
A full-stop at the end of each of my ideas and at the end of my story.

Next steps:
