OUR OTHER BLOGS PART 1: WRITING BLOG

Since the first day of Year Two, we've been posting to our writing blog, the 2M Writing Gems.

It's been a place for us to learn how to post and comment as we share our writing with others and one of the coolest things to happen is that some of our parents are posting to the writing blog too!

Our writing blog is a place where we can independently post about whatever we choose. Our posts to this blog are like 'first drafts'.

As we are writing and before we publish, we focus on the CUPS.

The CUPS are-

C - is for capitals. Do I have a capital to start my sentences and for the names of people, places and thin

gs

U- is for understanding. Does my writing make sense?

P-is for punctuation. Have I used my full stops, commas, exclamation marks,

question marks or speech marks?

S-is for spelling. Are all my words spelt correctly on my post?

At the moment, our posts to the writing blog are mainly recounts but as we learn about other text types like narratives, descriptions, opinions and explanations, we will be attempting them as well.

We'd LOVE for you to encourage us with our writing, so please visit our Writing Blog often and leave comments that will help us become better writers.
