Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Our writing focus today was about creating recounts about our weekend. Together the learners discussed their weekend and identified what they wanted to write about. I began by working with Suri to identify the keywords that were needed to add to her story about going shopping. She came up with some great describing words. Together we created a success criteria (what I need to have to be successful), Suri suggested that we need to include full stops as part of our to be successful list. Suri went away and began writing, when she returned we read her work together. She has attempted to spell words that she doesn’t know and can identify the key sounds. Suri met 3 of the 4 items in the success criteria. Great writing Suri!
