Checking Charlie

After writing time Room Seven are learning how to check and self monitor our work.  

We do this with the help of 'Checking Charlie'. 

 'Checking Charlie' reminds us of 8 things that we need to make sure we are doing in our writing...such as "have I started with a capital letter?", "have I caught some sounds in tricky words?", "are there finger spaces between my words?".  

The pictures below show them checking their writing with a partner.  Everyone is hoping for 8 ticks, but we know if we don't have 8 there is something to work on and remember next writing time.
