Sameeha and Saniya's Creative Writing Learning Story



Learners: Saniya & Sameeha    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 13.10.15
Learning Area: Literacy - Creative Writing
Learning Observed and Vision Principles
In Term 4, I am working with the Yoyos on a Tuesday specifically for Literacy. Today was our first session together and we started with a story called “Badjelly the Witch” by Spike Milligan. This was the inspiration for our Creative Writing - “Our Potion” - which encouraged them to show curiosity. The learners had to name their potion, explain what powers it gave people, write a set of make believe ingredients and describe which ingredient was the most important to have.
Sameeha and Saniya chose to name theirs ‘Stretchy’ which can make people stretchy. They had a whole range of creative ingredients including worms, stretchy clothes, leaves and chocolate to name a few. Collaboratively, they decided that the most important ingredient to include was stretchy clothes because they would add stretching power.
Sameeha and Saniya were capable of following every instruction, completing the task unassisted and handing it in before time was up. I was very impressed to see this!

Next Learning Steps
  • Next Tuesday the Yoyos group will be writing a set of instructions to tell the reader which order they need to add the ingredients to the potion and how long to boil it for.
  • Think about how the name of the Potion could be more creative or exciting.
  • Edit or change the ingredients to suit the feedback questions I have left on the bottom of the page.
