Today we tried something new! First we all chatted about our weekend... valuing the oral language opportunity to share our experiences.
Kane had some exciting language retelling his motorbike excursion at Oreti Beach.
Each child had something fun to share about their weekend adventures.
We revisited our poem Mashed Potatoes on the Ceiling from last week, due to illness we did not manage to memorise this poem so we are continuing on with this challenge this week!
Who will the winner be?
Then...
We shared our pet descriptions from last week, we wrote William's up and together we selected parts that had rich descriptive language and we edited some little joining words.
This made Williams description of Cooper more interesting for our audience!
Then we all re worked our beginning sentences about our pets.
This was hard for everyone!
But we persisted and all agreed that we had each improved our writing quality!
We discussed that real published authors get feedback all the time which means they have to rework their writing!
This was a great learning curve and one we will revisit as we go along our pathway to being real authors!
