As I am reading through the WLA text 'Play Matters' I have realised that I want to and need to add more opportunities for writing invitation into the Purposeful play sessions. I have been thinking that I wasn't happy that the writing space was big enough but also aware of not wanting to dominate the learning space with too many tables.
I have reflected on this for a few days and searched in the stored furniture to find a new table for our writing space to enable me to add another space for writing and allow more exciting writing invitations to be out on display during Purposeful Play sessions instead of tucked away in tote trays.
I am also considering the new ways in which I can extend the current play invitations and make these a more appealing option for the students.
I have purchased more enveloped so that students can put their 'mail' into the class mailbox and have also found some NZ stamp images and will model to the students how to correctly address and envelope to be sent and add a stamp.
I have created small 'cards' so that cards can also be created as another writing option alongside the letter templates and a range of interesting paper for drawing, writing and list making with boarders to colour etc.
I will continue to monitor and add to the writing tools available to ensure a range of quality and interesting tools are available.
