Telling my Story

On Friday 15th of May we had the Junior School cross-country. We ran hard in the mud and the puddles; some of us even ran up and down Cycle Mountain!
We decided to tell our cross-country stories. We have done this in two ways. Firstly we wrote our story. We used our senses to help add some details to our writing. We thought about what we could see, what we could hear, what we could feel and how we felt in our heart.
We also told our story in ‘code’. With Carolyn we thought about how we can use paint and symbols to share our story. Again we thought about what we could see, what we could hear, what we could feel and how we felt in our heart.

Success Criteria:
  • Plan my writing
  • Add details to my writing
  • Create a code to tell my story
  • Speak clearly and with expression as I tell my story

Reflection

I really like: cross country and I nearly came third. I liked telling my story.

I think I need to practice: listening for more sounds in my words.

Something that really helped me was: doing lots of talking and thinking with the class. Having the words in the writing book helped too.

Kerri Thinks
The Russell Street School cross country was a great day and I know you loved running in the puddles and the mud and getting dirty! You did loads of running practise and then nearly came third! After the race we did lots of talking and thinking and added lots of ideas to the writing modelling book. What a clever writer to use these ideas in your story! You can hear and write the first and last sounds in your words, your next stpe is to start lisenting for some ot the middle sounds.
