This week, we continued our learning about descriptive writing.

We were able to use descriptive language and techniques to describe the main character of our novel – ‘Mr Twit’.

We knew we had been successful if we could paint a picture in our readers mind of what Mr Twit was really like! We did this by using adjectives, similes and alliteration.

We also introduced our ‘Tickled Pink’ and ‘Green for Growth’ system that we will be using to celebrate, edit and improve our writing. We picked out all the amazing features using pink and highlighted any areas that we could ‘grow’ or develop our skills using green.

 

This week, we also headed out on our first (and what turned out to be VERY wet!)  community walk.

We surveyed the different types of litter around the village and used tally marks to total up the amounts.

We will use this information to complete bar and pie charts in maths and look forward to helping clean up some of the litter during our whole school outdoor days.

Lastly, check out all of our ‘Catrine Compliments’ so far.

We love choosing one special member of our class on a Friday and reminding them of all the things we love about them!

A copy of the ‘Catrine Compliments’ is always sent home, so keep an eye out for when it is your child’s turn!
