Wild Life Posters

Leave a comment

This week our writing focussed on structure and layout. We chose to write about a wild animal that we are interested in. We then chose to lay our writing out in poster form. We structured our writing under 4 subheadings:

  • Habitat
  • Diet
  • Physical Appearance
  • Interesting Facts

As part of our Big Talk homework, we researched our wild animals at home using our subheadings to help us. We then discussed our animals at home with our friends and family. In class, we discussed specialist vocabulary that we might want to use in our posters.

Here are some examples of our finished posters:

Beth’s poster on the Orangutan
Connor’s poster on the Koala
Renaska’s poster on the Hazel Dormouse
Abbie’s poster on the Meerkat
Beth’s poster on the Blue Tongued Skink

Sea Bucket Art and Writing

Leave a comment

 

 

We created these buckets full of sea life by carefully drawing the outline of a bucket, then adding details such as rocks, sea weed and underwater creatures. We used a variety of lines, patterns and shapes.  In writing, we then wrote a set of instructions on “How to draw a sea bucket.” We made sure that the layout was appropriate for a set of instructions and that we used ‘linking’ words for each step.
