24.01.2022 WOW writing In classroom 2O we have been working extremely hard in our writing and STEM units, both of which focus on robots. Students in 2O were challenged to learn the structure of a narrative and create a short story of their own which had to include a robot character. We had a wide variety of stories with a large selection of complications such as a battery shortage and malfunctions mostly to be resolved with friendship within the story. We showed a large improvement in our writing and are continuing to work towards achieving our goals. These student work samples are on display on 2Os WOW wall. Thomas ODonovan | Stage 1 Teacher
