Making a plan for my story


We are learning to make a plan. We can make a plan for any story. Making a plan helps us to remember what happened and to write about it. We need to remember to have a topic and at least 3 ideas about the topic in our plan. It is tricky to make a plan.

Root words

We are learning about root words. Some root words have s at the end, like 'looks'. Some have ing at the end, like 'playing' and some have ed at the end, like 'shouted'. Root words are good because they help us to make new words. It is easy to find root words.

Different strategies to spell words for story writing


We were learning to look in different places for words that we want to write. We look in the word cards, the red folder and around the room. We also sound out words.

I find it a bit tricky to find words in different places.  I need to keep practising.
