We thought our families might like to see what we do in Room 1 when it is writing time.
Our first step each day is to think of a great story idea. We choose one person to come up the front to share their idea.
It is Seth's turn to sit in the story chair. He has decided that he would like us to write about his new bike.
We sit on the mat and tell each other the story idea so that we have it clear in our heads.
Today's story is: I have a new bike at my house.
Then it is time to write our story in our class 'Writing Book.'
We pull out each word so that we can try and hear as many sounds as possible.
Mrs Bargh writes down the letter sounds that we can hear.
When we have finished writing Seth reads us his story.
The second time we all try reading his story.
Our next step is to split into 3 groups.
The first group have a turn at writing their own story.
They are working on looking for the sounds on their alphabet cards.
The second group are drawing a picture to match their story. These children are publishing the story that they wrote yesterday in their books.
Then it is time to read our stories.
We practise reading our stories in front of the whole class.
Look at Stella's great finger pointing!
The third group practise language games to help learn the alphabet and the early words. It will be their time to write with the teacher tomorrow.
Room 1 would love you to come and see their writing books!
