With the lead up to World Book Day next week, we have been having a think about Literacy and things that we have been working on this week. We understand that reading and writing can be a bit tricky but are enjoying improving our skills in lots of new ways.
Mason – “My writing this week was good. Mrs Mansfield was proud of me and I got to move my name up”
Lucy – “I learned about writing in sentences in my writing this week”
Poppy F – “I was doing lots of work with my sounds this week. I used the carpet mats to make words”
Breaghannon – “I have been practising my reading and writing this week, I am getting better”
Cameron – “I liked digging deeper in my writing this week. This is where you write a short sentence then add more information to make it a longer sentence”
Ellie -“I enjoyed digging deeper as well because it changed my sentences from being okay sentences to being great sentences”
Rio – “I liked learning about the different tricky word strategies”
Rory – “I liked writing about the Scottish meals. I wrote about turning potatoes into chips”
Sarah – “I learned actions to go along with my words this week”
Griffin – “I liked digging deeper this week because it helped me to make better sentences and then amazing sentences”
Emily – “I liked learning strategies to spell my tricky words during phonics time. My favourite strategy was ‘looking up'”
Poppy D – “I liked when we went outside and I practised my talking skills to draw and use a clock on the playground”
Aiden – “I like doing the tricky words because I liked learning about pyramid writing”
Aaron – “I liked tricky words as well because I enjoyed rainbow writing”
Leah – “I liked writing about a Scottish meal because I liked thinking about where my food comes from”
Millie – “I liked doing the pyramid writing in active spelling time”
Teigan – “I liked hearing Mrs Mansfield’s favourite story, The Magic Faraway Tree”
Daniel – “I liked learning writing in sentences in my writing this week”
Leila – “I liked doing my writing this week”
Brooke – “I enjoyed practising my words this week”
