Writing for a purpose

We published our story. Our story was about mum. Mum was our word of the week. We wrote our story so Mum could read it. We have been learning that we write for a purpose. The purpose of our story was to tell Mum something we like about her.   

"I had to write a story about my mum. I had to write a story about my mum so she could read it. I like writing for mum because I knew she would like it. Writing is tricky for me."
