This week some of us took our group literacy outside to enjoy the beautiful autumn weather. Being outside in the fresh air, applying our skills in a different way and using natural resources all help improve our learning experience. We all felt energised, engaged and relaxed. We used chalk, water, leaves, sticks and seed cases to build our spelling words rather than writing them with pencil and paper. We then spelled our words out loud alongside some exercises to get the brain and body working in perfect harmony!

P4- Acrostic Amazon!
This week our literacy focus has been creating an acrostic poem with the word RAINFOREST. First we had a class discussion about relevant and interesting topic related words that could start each line of the poem. We filled a whole board with WOW words and then we wrote a poem together so we could see an example of how the words could be used. Our poetry was fantastic and really demonstrated our knowledge of the Amazon in a new and creative way.
P4 – Creating a Word Document
This week in ICT we learned how to create a Word Document. We had to-
-open Word
-choose our font and type size
-centre our title
-type document
-find a related picture from a given website and copy it
-paste picture onto document
-save document in a folder.
We really enjoyed typing up our rainforest fact file and learning these new skills at the same time.
