The Magic Wave

Abigail and Pascale created a drawing together while playing on the deck. There were bits of coloured paper and felt stuck onto a piece of B1 paper and some crayon marks.

Abigail said that it was a picture called "The Magic Wave", and proceeded to write this across the top of the artwork. She then said that she wanted to write a story about the magic wave. (Agreed to do this after school).

Upon returning from school and after having a snack, Abigail proceeded to write her story. She used a blank piece of A4 paper with line guide paper clipped to the underside. Then she illustrated her story with colour pencil drawings of the wave and its mother, each with speech balloons. Finally there was a title page written on a separate sheet of paper, layout was in the middle rather that upper left justified or top centre location as she had done not so long ago.

A day or two later, Abigail took this project to school to show her teacher Miss Clarke. Unfortunately Miss C was away but her substitute Miss Dee read the story to the class and showed them the picture. Thus Abigail got her fix of being noticed.
