Ruby, Eneri and Taneesha display their "understanding that symbols can be 'read' by others and that thoughts, experiences and ideas can be representing through words, print, and shapes", Communication, Te Whaariki.
Look at the marks, letters and shapes these children are making to represent themselves, Eneri and Ruby- their names, and Taneesha is mark making shapes. They are making their own language and developing writing the English language too.
Ko te re tuakiri Language is my identity
Ko te reo tooku ahurei Language is my uniqueness
Ko te rea te ora. Language is life.

When i read this i laughed. Ruby uses any oppurtunity to write her name. She once wrote it on the kitchen floor with her finger after Joaquin and I (mum) had a flour fight. She has also used a big permanent marker to sign her name on the back of her bookshelf and kitchen set (sorry ruby you cant blame your brother this time you signed your own handywork) both kids like to write on the windows when there is condensation, its fantastic.
So fantastic to have all your comments Karla:)
