Making a plan for my story


We are learning to make a plan. We can make a plan for any story. Making a plan helps us to remember what happened and to write about it. We need to remember to have a topic and at least 3 ideas about the topic in our plan. It is easy to make a plan.

Capital letters


We are learning to put capital letters in the right places.  We need to put capital letters at the start of the story, after a full stop and for names of places and people. The letter I by itself should be capital.

I find it a bit tricky to put capital letters in the right places. I will need to check for capital letters when I have finished writing.

Teen numbers


"We are learning about teen numbers. All teen numbers have a ten in them. We know that 18 is 10 + 8 because 18 has an 8 in it. Teen numbers are easy for me."

Contractions



We have been learning about noticing contractions. Contraction is a word made by squashing 2 words together. Some letters pop out of the 2 words and they are not in the contraction. Contractions have a punctuation mark like a comma sticking in the air in the middle.

"It is easy for me to find contractions."

Writing with Capital Letters and Full Stops




"I was learning about capital letters.  It was tricky.  You have to put them after a full stop.  It's tricky to remember to put them in."
