Police writing games

Harry has created a great police game this week. He has been wearing the policeman hat and speaking in an amusing gruff voice, while brandishing a notebook and pen. We have been given stickers with our police officer number written on too.

I normally don't have much tolerance for role play games (thankfully Stuart does!) but I couldn't think of a reasonable excuse so I went along with playing the various people who had lost their animals. I had to describe them to the policeman - name, colour, what noise they make and what they like to eat and he wrote it down before going off to find them. The amount of willing writing Harry has done during this game has been great! We have played every day and he is getting really good at having a go at spelling the words on his own.  These are some examples of his police notes
