Written Language

Our focus at present is recount writing.

1. A recount tells about something that happened in the past. The details in a recount can include what happened, who was involved, where it took place, when it happened and why it occurred. A writer or speaker uses a recount to tell us about a story or an event.

We talk about including answers to these questions in our recount - who? when? where?what? why? how? 

We also talk about correct use of punctuation in our daily writing  - where to put fullstops and capitals. 

We think about how to spell known words correctly and how to work out other words from the sounds we can hear.
