The use of journal writing at year 3 level\ngives children the opportunity to undertake this in the safe and intimate space\nof a blank page in an unsupervised manner. This allows them to write freely,\nwithout the anxiety of having to heed a narratively and grammatically correct\norder.&nbsp; They can expose their private\nthoughts and emotions in a safe space which only they would review, granting an\nideal platform from which they can question and weigh their state of being,\nallowing them a safe space for personal growth. The exercise takes place with\nonly a starting point in the form of an idea, topic or art form such as a piece\nof music or image, used to stimulate an emotional or ideological response to\nwhich they can relate their own experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20191128_133452-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20191128_133452-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20191128_133452-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20191128_133452-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20191128_133452-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>contributed&nbsp;by&nbsp;Ms.&nbsp;Doreen Farrugia,&nbsp;Year&nbsp;3.1 Writing is universally considered as a means to externalize one\u2019s own feelings and emotions, providing a means for the individual to examine their state of mind and response to their individual lives.
