田田学校有一个”Big Write”的活动，我是听说过名字，并不知道到底是什么东西。她每星期周五会带回家”Reception BIG WRITE Talk Home Learning”，每次会设一个主题，要求家长跟小孩谈论这个主题，说是有助于小孩”Big Write”，还要求家长签字声明已经做了这份家庭作业。
我对这份家庭作业不是很重视，因为我想也许学写字要正式上小学才会开始，在reception(类似于预备班)，估计只是talk。没想到今天田田从学校带回来了”My Big Write Folder”，还真开始学写字了。
每个主题，老师让小孩画一幅画表达她们的想法，并且写一些字或单词，有些是小孩独立写，有些是小孩抄老师写的，或者借助”sound card”帮忙。老师会订正小孩写的字并写评语。可以看出田田从开始写一个单词到后面写一句话有了明显进步。
主题大致如下：
- People Who Help Us at School
- Going for Goals
- People Who Help Us and Our Animals to Get Better
- Police Officers Help Us
- Journeys I made in my half-term holiday
- How I get to school and what I see on the way
- Cars
下面是这个星期的Big Write作业。我没有读过这本”Mr Gumpy’s Outing”，今天去图书馆借，竟然有四本，两本在借，两本还在图书馆，看来这本书还是很popular的。借来一看才知道昨天她们学校的Assembly里一个表演就是根据这本书的。
Reception BIG WRITE Talk Home Learning
Friday 19th March 2010
Talking is an important aspect of preparation for writing. Not only does it help us to think clearly, but talking can also motivate us and stimulate new ideas.
So in preparation for BIG WRITE each Monday, we would like all children to talk to one or two adults at home about a different topic each week.
Please make sure two adults sign below having talked to your child about the topic. This can be in a very informal manner and does not need to take lots of your time.
This week we have read the story of ‘Mr Gumpy’s Outing’ by John Burningham. The children have had great fun acting it out, with a range of people taking on a variety of roles. They rose to the challenge of our year group assembly today and have continued to use the props in their child initiated learning. Please continue to discuss the storyline with your child. In our Big Write lesson, we will be writing a recount of the story, where children will choose a sentence to rewrite the actions of all the characters. Wow words this week might include: teased, tipped, owned, squabble, chase, bleating, trample etc.
