Story Writing

Today we wrote our own stories but through the eyes of a character. We watched a fun clip from The Literacy Shed of some diving giraffes. We all found it really funny! Our task was to pretend to be the giraffe and write about the experience, making sure to comment on feelings and using descriptive language to describe the setting. We even tried writing in paragraphs!
Here are a few examples of our work.

Sports Day

This afternoon we had so much fun taking part in our school sports day!

We all competed in a running race and then we took part in 4 different games – tug of war, beat the goalie, archery and an obstacle course.

It was so lovely to see lots of the children being great sports, congratulating their friends and supporting one another!

Colour searching, matching and analysing

What a super morning we spent searching the ECO garden and the side of the school for as many colours as we could find!

We used some old supermarket magazines to do some colour matching and were amazed at just how many different colours we could match. It became quite a competition to see who could match the highest number of colours on their page!

After playtime we went back outside and studied some of the flowers very carefully. We created our own daisies, using only daisies to paint!
