Big Write 10.1.14

This week children will be completing Big write for the first time.  This is where the children have the opportunity to write completely independently in a calm supportive environment.  They will need to rehearse what they are going to write at home and we will rehearse together through big talk before they sit down to write on Friday morning.  The children do not write from notes.

This is an opportunity for children to show how they can write in complete sentences using the correct punctuation.  Add interest to their work by using adjectives (wow words) and join sentences together using connectives.  So for example, looking at the picture below children could write
"There is a man eating snails.  The dog is eating snails"  or they could improve these sentences to say "A grey haired  man is eating disgusting snails and feeding them to the fluffy dog."

I am looking forward to reading everyone's writing on Friday.
