Year 6 have spent time discussing the book "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds. You can read the story by clicking on the video.
It is a story of a young girl who lacks confidence and, with the help of a teacher, discovers that she does have a talent.
The best part of the story is when Vashti shares her new found confidence with a small boy.
Year 6 created their own 'dot' artwork which will be uploaded here soon.
Please take to time to visit our blog again and read the comments written by our students over the next week .
On the front cover of the book the big dot looks like a human eye because the writing is the pupil.Inside there are different colour representing the emotions that Vashti express. 44

ReplyDeleteThis book shows that you can get more depth in a picture book than a novel and there are always two story in one book because there is a story in the text and one in the pictures.

The book, The Dot, is simple but you can get a lot of depth out of it. No 30
ReplyDeleteI find that the dot relates to a lot of things, one being "this little lite of mine" meaning that the dot is her light.

I think the Dot is telling us to never stop believing in our self, because sometime in our life, we will find our talent and teach others to find theirs to share with people they know.

On all the pages that the dot is on it is like the dot is following her. no.41
ReplyDeleteThis book is one of the books that shows us that you can get a 500 words just looking at it and only 10-15 words in the book.#37
ReplyDeleteThis book represents emotions with each colour that Vashti uses and expresses

I would like to congratulate year 6 on the way in which they are getting better and better at interpreting the text of books. They look at the entire text - the words, the images and the colours of the images. They are also making more and more connections with texts. Great work Year 6. I am so proud of you. Mrs S
ReplyDeleteThe emotions are so big

I second Mrs S' comment because they were able to reflect and express their thoughts with reasons in relation to the messages within the book.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Student 13's comment about how Vashti spread her little light and made a continuous ripple to continue spreading her light. Miss M =)
I agree with miss M because Vashti didn't think she could draw but she proved that she could!!! 45
ReplyDeleteI like the book because it teaches others that They are all unique :D #31
ReplyDeleteI like the book cause the little girl thinks that she can be better at drawering
