In Aotahi Studio, we have been working hard to grow our writing skills and become more confident writers. We have been learning how to write full sentences by remembering to use capital letters at the beginning, spaces between words, and full stops at the end. We are becoming more independent and proud of the writing we can create.
One of our favourite writing activities was creating our own Gruffalo characters. We used interesting adjectives to describe what our creatures looked like and to make our writing more exciting for our readers. We had lots of fun using our imaginations and thinking of creative words to bring our characters to life.
We have also been learning how to write book reviews. After reading stories, we shared our opinions about what we liked, our favourite parts, and whether we would recommend the book to others. This helped us think more deeply about the books we read and practise sharing our ideas through writing.
Another exciting topic was researching and writing reports about planets. We learned fascinating facts about our chosen planets and organised our information into clear reports. We worked on using facts, headings, and topic-specific vocabulary to teach others about what we had discovered.
We are proud of the progress we have made as writers this term. It has been wonderful to see our confidence grow as we share our ideas, use new vocabulary, and create a variety of different pieces of writing. We look forward to continuing our writing journey and sharing more of our work with you.
