Peter’s notes

Student	Peter	Date	15 August 2008

Learning goal

Peter will create text that has a purpose and relevance to a task he is undertaking.

Peter had made a spa out of a cardboard box and milo tin. Peter says that you fill the Milo tin with bubble bath mix. Using the shower tap, you spray the tin until the bubbles start to overflow into the bath that is already filled with water. You lie back and relax in the bath. Peter wrote a note to Mum and Da (first photo) to explain how the spa worked. When Mum and Da went to the bathroom to look at the spa, a second note (second photo) was taped to the bathroom door with instructions on how to use the spa. Mum and Da discussed the note with Peter to clarify his instructions. Peter demonstrated how the spa worked, making lots of bubbles and laughing. Peter was proud of his writing – and his spa!
