Recount writing

Reflection:
I was learning about recount writing. I can use onomatopoeia for a good first sentence. It was tricky to use onomatopoeia because I did not know about onomatopoeia before. Now I need to use more of fullstops and capital letters because I have not been using full stops and capital letters in the right places.

Fullstops and capital letters

WALT  put capital letters and full stops in the right places.I know where to put my full stop and capital letters because word starts with a capital. I know how to put my full starts with a capital .It is tricky because when I am writing I forget where put it.

Making a plan

We need to have only one or a few words in our plan. The plan has to be about the topic. It needs 3 or more ideas. When we use the plan to do our writing, we need to write 2 or more sentences about each idea. The plan helps us to remember what happened. We need to start and end our writing with a sentence about the topic.

I think I have got a lot better at writing. I can say a lot about what I did and explain it. I feel good about my writing. Sometimes it is easy and sometimes it is tricky.

Different ways to write words for my stories

Finding words from the word folder

I am learning to find words from the word folder at story writing time. Sometimes I can find the words that I want.

When I Grow Up ...

I wrote my story in my book.  I checked with Mrs Kerr.  She helped me import my photo into kidpix.  I typed the words by myself.  It took a long, long, long time.  It's tricky to type the right letter.  I decorated my photo so that it looks like me when I am grown up. 

"I am learning to see the words.  It's tricky when I can't find the right letter.  I am happy with my picture because it shows that I am a real hairdresser."

I Can Publish My Best Writing.

Every day I write a story.  I can choose my best story for publishing with Mrs Kerr. Usually my best story goes into my publishing book and I can illustrate it on Friday. Sometimes I write a big, amazing, beautiful,  awesome story.  This story is about a cold, cold day.  I cut out shapes in some paper to make a snowflake.  Now my story and my snowflake are up on the windows in Room 1.  I have seen people reading my story.  That makes me want to do the happy dance!

"I like writing my stories about my family.  I can't find all of the words by myself but I am trying harder and harder.  Sometimes Mrs Kerr has to help me."

I Can Write All By Myself!

I am learning how to write a story.  I draw a picture to help me plan my work.  I use the day card to help me write the day correctly.  I use my alphabet card to help me write the letters and words.

"I like to write about fairies because they are special."
