Kia Ora All,
Great job to all those hardworking parents who dedicated home learning time to helping their child out with their speech. It's a big job and I think all the students have done really well. I'm looking forward to hearing them next week. I'll video them and put them up on the blog for everyone to appreciate, so stay tuned.
The next writing topic we're going to have a crack at is a character portrait. The difference between a good character portrait and a less interesting one usually boils down to subject choice. Please have a chat to your child about whom they might like to write about. Someone special or significant in their lives who they know quite well is ideal. Grandparents, parents, past teachers, aunts, uncles or similar are all great choices. Classmates, friends and siblings aren't generally good choices because they're a bit too close to them and, as such, hard to write about with any clarity. If they have a picture or something that reminds them of their special person, it can be helpful to bring it in and have it on their desk as they write. I'm happy to photocopy or print photos off at school.
Rock on,
Mr M
