What will we be writing about this term?
Outcomes:

This term in writing we will be using the text Starbird by Sharon Kind-Chai in which the children begin by inferring the characters’ feelings to write a short section of dialogue, the rest of the fable is read in stages and interpreted through activities such as creating a wanted poster, a diary entry, writing a song and eventually creating an own version fable.
Text Synopsis:
Starbird is a magical story about love, freedom, and the wisdom of children. Starbird's songs weave the richest dreams and delight all who hear him, but when the Moon King traps him in a cage as gift for his daughter, the colour and life in his voice begin to drip away. While the Moon King is blinded by greed and selfishness, his young daughter can clearly see the injustice and cruelty of his actions.
