In Autahi we have been dialling up our Strengths of Creativity, Love of Learning and Humour in writing. Based on Rod Campbell’s Dear Zoo, we wrote about our own pets.
To begin our writing, we check what important ingredients are needed to write a good sentence:
- Finger spaces.
- A capital letter at the start of the sentence.
- A full stop at the end of the sentence.
Sharing ideas is an important part of our process, as well as saying our sentence out loud. Before getting started, we often also draw a picture plan. This helps us remember what it was that we wanted to write about in our sentence.

A big part of writing is being able to hear the sound that each letter makes so that we can spell words properly. If we are not sure of a sound, our teacher can help.
Some of us dialled up our Perseverance to write more sentences! After describing our pet, we wrote whether we would keep them or not - just like in Dear Zoo.
Writing can be really tricky because there is so much to remember! But with our Creativity, our Love of Learning, our Humour and our Perseverance we can become the finest of wordsmiths!
