Primary 1 – Writing

Good Morning Primary 1!

I have attached a short video clip for you to watch this morning.

Can you guess the story we are acting out?

 

To help children to write stories they need  to hear stories, tell stories and read stories. So today’s writing task has three options which you can pick from.

Option 1: Choose a story and act it out using puppets or props. Someone could record you and you could send to your Primary 1 teacher to see if they can guess the story.

If you feel this is a suitable task for your child then your child should be encouraged to draw or write what they can and perhaps write/draw a list of props/puppets they require to retell the story.

Option 2: Choose a story and make adaptions to the story. You could adapt the characters in the story or what happens in the story by changing either the start the middle or the end.

If you feel this is a suitable task for your child then your child should draw and write one sentence or more to change the story they have picked.

Option 3:  You can create and write your own story and then act it out using puppets or props.

If you feel this is a suitable task for your child then they should be encouraged to draw a detailed drawing and write at least one sentence to create a story with a start, middle and end.

I have also attached an updated Writing Planner including worksheets to match each suggested activity and these can be found by clicking the link below.

P1 WRITING

Thank you Primary Ones for sharing some of your fantastic writing. Please keep up the great work and keep sharing with us.

 

 

We know you will be still busy working your way through the packs we made before the Easter Break but we have added a few more writing ideas to this blog.

 

Formation Fun                                                                                                                        Below are some examples of formation activities that could be done outdoors in the wonderful sunshine or indoors. Many of you will have formed letters, keywords,your names and sentences in rice, Lego, shaving foam, using chalk and ‘magic’ paint (water!). Just use what you have.

Remember to have fun but now we move into the final term we are looking for your writing to be as neat as it can be.

 

Main Activity                                                                                                                          The Easter holidays may not have been the holidays that we were expecting but I am sure you must have  some exciting information to share. So we would like you to write a letter to a friend, family member or even your class teacher to tell us the best thing about your holiday.

Your letter should include:

  • who it is to
  • the date you have written the letter
  • what you have enjoyed best about your holidays
  • sentences including; capital letters, full stops and finger spaces.
  • who the letter is from

Challenge yourself 

  • you could ask a question in your letter
  • think about the presentation of your letter –  is your writing neat with well formed letters?
  • proof read your letter before you send it to check for any mistakes

 

Writing activities you can do everyday

  • help write the shopping list
  • write a daily timetable
  • create a fitness routine for you and another to complete
  • keep a daily diary
  • create a food menu
  • write a song
  • create a 2020 scrap book

Finally the more we make writing meaningful and fun the  more we want to do it. So I hope this last idea is a fun one.
