Writing for different purposes

Today our blog is focussing upon writing for different purposes.

The children have been engaging with book making this semester and we have seen their confidence  as writers really grow as they take risks and have a go. The children have explored many crafting techniques as they explore many wonderful mentor text which have inspired their writing.

Today the children in RHA made cards for their buddies.

R1MR used stickers to inspire their writing as they created stories, added titles and speech bubbles.

We wonder how many different ways you can explore writing over the holidays.

Here are some ideas:

A thank you card

Shopping list

Secret messages

Christmas cards

Note to Santa

Signs for your room

We celebrate all writing  – writing can be marks, symbols, squiggles, letter, words and pictures (as they all convey meaning)

Here are some pictures of our writing today:

What kind of things can we give to our families that don’t cost us any money?

Adum – I could make a card out of paper.

Alexa – I could give my family love.

Mason H – I could give my family love and care.

Tesi – I could make a dance my family.

Avelyn – I could make something or make a card for them.

Annabelle – I could draw a picture of my family.

Harper – I could make an ice cream cake for my dad. I could do the laundry.

Hendrix – I could make a band and sing Dad a song.

Eann – My mum is having a baby so I help her with things.

Kunal – I help my Mum make a gift card.
