This is what they said...
Kate: In the helping circle, you help each other. I find it helpful because someone is helping me.
Edward: The helping circle is cool because everyone lets everyone in the circle (everyone is included).
Leola: The helping circle is very good. By helping each other we put more detail in our writing. I ended up writing lots more.
Dylan: The helping circle is good as it helps you to learn new stuff and listen to other people’s ideas.
Adam: The helping circle gives me ideas. For example, if we had to write about fishing, other people might know more about fishing and they can share their ideas. Today I asked Ollie if I could piggy back ideas for my writing. He said, “yes”.
Hunter T: The helping circle helps me to spell words. I added more adjectives today.
Griffin: In the helping circle, I know that I can get a pencil and start adding onto my story. I gave Ridley advice to make his writing shorter. (The task was to retell a story in 4 sentences).
Izar: The helping circle helps me to write and helps me to concentrate.
Charlotte: The helping circle helps me to know what I’ve done and I can give ideas to people who don’t have ideas.
Liam: In a helping circle, you get to connect with different people and it’s interesting to see what they do in their writing. We can make changes or cross stuff out.
Jupiter: The helping circle is a good activity for people. It is a good way to learn new words that people use.
Kirsty: The helping circle helps me to listen to other people’s descriptive words . I can use them in my writing. It helps me to spell the whole of the word. Raffy helped with spelling today. I could help her too. She showed me how to skip lines.
Rim: In the helping circle, some people give me inspiration. They tell me their stories. While we are reading, we are correcting.
Ridley: The helping circle helps us to spell words we get stuck on.
Awesome to hear it guys! Let's keep up all the great helping and writing! Can't wait to read some of your work!
