Independent Writing

As part of our independent literacy activities the children may choose a picture to use for a writing prompt.  Their writing is showing the emergence of poetic writing.

The Butterlies

By Samantha

I can see Monarch butterflies, flying to the tree by my house.

The black spots are dark on their orange, shiny wings.

A butterfly lands on the branch and rests its wings.

The Lake

By Ginny

Water falls down to the lake.

Animals swim and play.

A parrot flies above.

The Pukekos

By Sophia

I see pukekos looking at each other.

I see trees swaying.

I see vines curling up.

The Race

By Charlotte

This looks like an animal race.  The kangaroo has won.

Hurray, hurray!

Tuis

By Samantha

I see some tuis sitting on a branch

I see a moon shining bright.

I see a spider web with bugs on it.

Writing from a title

24/3/14

Today at circle time we each said one word to tell about what we did in the weekend.  Mrs Gleeson's was ‘ breakfast’. We recorded these ideas.

Then we said what that thing did  or where we were or what we saw.

This became the title of our story and from here we wrote about that topic.  Some children found it difficult to write about what they had told us and wrote completely different stories from their titles. 

We will be learning how to add interesting vocabulary to our writing and how we can ‘hook’ the reader so they want to read what we have written.
