We are a class of Prep students, sharing all that's happening in our classroom. This blog was started by the first group of Gems, a Year One class back in 2007. We, the 2012 Gems are proud to continue on the conversation. You can read, watch and listen as we share our learning journey - a journey where we 'learn to blog' and 'blog to learn'. Please visit regularly to see what's new and join in the conversation - we'd love for you to be part of our learning.

WRITING WIZARDS



We couldn't wait to get back to school
and write about all the exciting things
we did on the holidays.

Mrs M said we have been 'WRITING WIZARDS' this week.


Here are some of the 'MAGIC' things we have been doing.

We have been 're-reading' to make sure that our writing makes sense.We are remembering where we can find words we need .... sometimes they're even on the blog!Some of us are using a 'SPACEMAN'-
to help us remember to put 'spaces' between words. Others of us are putting 'TRAFFIC LIGHTS' on our page to help us start writing in the correct spot and to write from LEFT to RIGHT.

Keep watching for more of our 'MAGIC' writing, coming soon.

AUTHOR'S CHAIR

Each day, at the end of WRITING BLOCK, we have 'AUTHOR'S CHAIR'.

After working hard on our writing, we can choose to SHARE what we have written.


We also THINK about the
'clever things' we did as writers and share them too.



Maybe it's about where we found a word we needed, how we wrote the sounds we could hear when spelling words or how we had used finger spaces, fullstops or even exclamation marks!
So many of us want to be in the 'AUTHOR'S CHAIR' each day.
We think we need a SIGN-UP SHEET for it too!

JACOB'S RAD 'R' POEM


Jacob made a number of attempts yesterday to write a poem using 'alliteration'.
He started many times, but found it hard.
Did he say...




NO!!!


Today he started again, with a new idea.
He asked for advice,
He PERSEVERED...
and he 'got it'!

Rockets,
rolling round round-a-bouts,
rumbling,
racing rapidly.


Jacob proved that with PATIENCE and PERSEVERANCE you CAN do it!
And all the ones he started.... he's now going back to finish!
