Today in play, Jeremy and Riley created a room with lots of different things you might find at home.
They took a photo of their rooms then wrote a list of some of their furniture.
Great writing guys!
What would you have in your special room?
Today I started to make a farm with Kane. We made two paddocks and put some animals in them.
I made a list of the dangerous animals. They are dangerous because they can kill other animals. I liked writing the list. Kane
I made a list of the farm animals and then counted them. I had 22 animals. I liked writing the animals because it is fun writing. I learnt how to write hippopotamus.

This morning some students made stories with the felt boards. Charli created a great story about Goldilicks and the two bears. You can see Charli’s picture here and listen to her story. Great creativity, Charli.
Today in our morning discovery play session two new authors began to create a book about play at Yuille Park CC.
Rebecca and Charli started with creating a story map about the different play centres in the POD and brainstormed words that they might write about in each area. They then went and took some pictures of children playing in the Pod and the writing began.
They used ‘My Story’ which is a great app that lets you write stories, draw pictures, add sound and be creative by adding in all sorts of stickers. They haven’t finished their books yet but we thought we would share a ‘sneak preview’ of what a book looks like as it is coming together.
My Story is a great app for creative young authors
We will share the finished books on here soon. Check out a sneak peak of Rebecca’s book here
