Writing In Room 6

"Oh you greedy cat!"
Today we read The New Cat by Joy Cowley and used it as inspiration for our own writing. 

At this early stage in our writing, we are working hard to find words around the room that we know so that we can use them in our writing.  We keep the writing sessions short and positive, nearly all of us remembered how to spell the and use it in our story. Great work Room 6.

If you would like to support your child to write then a good tip is to let them see you writing, writing things like shopping lists or little notes to friends or family members. The value they place on writing at this age depends a lot on what they see you doing.

To help with our writing we spend some time in the morning learning our letters and sound.  We practice our letter formation and play around making making words with the sounds we have learned.
