Checking the news

The first week back we have been investigating newspapers and looking at advertisements. We noticed things like fonts, letter size, colours and size of the advertisement. Then we looked at what information needs to be in an advertisement. Some of us got distracted by reading some of the articles and learned how newspapers write in third person. So last week we created some advertising for the Readathon we are doing at the moment and we advertised some of the things we did or wanted to do in the school holidays. Some of us are also trying to write articles using third person. The best part of literacy for the last two weeks was sitting in the sunshine, reading the paper!
