Everybody's talking about it!

There was a real buzz in the playground before school, and the children couldn't wait to explore the writing area. As one child said, "This is amazing! It's going to be brilliant writing in here!" The parents all looked quite keen as well, and I'm sure that they'll all be using it at the end of the day. It's great to see so many other people starting to add their comments to the blog. It really has become an 'everybody writes' week now!!

Lots of activities took place throughout the day, with many classes working with their buddies. At assembly time we all went out into the playground and wrote messages, poems, names, jokes and lots more! it's amazing how a piece of chalk encourages everybody to write. One child said, "I really enjoy writing and drawing with chalk. I think it made the playground much better and colourful."

We are nearly at the end of the week, but I know that it will be just the beginning of the use of the writing area. We hope to finish adding our art work and writing to the area tomorrow, and, weather permitting, to have an outdoor assembly at the end of the day, to officially open the area.

It's been great to see teachers in strange places this week, in their own little world, just quietly mixing paint!
