Woodlands and Literacy

This week, we went on a materials hunt in our woodland area! Once we found lots of items, we placed them inside a hoop and had to use different adjectives to describe them. Our friends had to guess what our item was based on what adjectives we used. We were very accurate and detailed with our descriptions and this helped us to be successful. Some examples of our descriptions are down below.

“My object is in the blue hoop with the black stripes. It is grey, small and kind of round.” – Isabella

“My object is in the blue hoop. It is green and smooth. It can easily break. It is kind of like a turtle leg shape.” – Amaya

“My object is in the blue hoop. It is small. It has so many circle shapes on it. They have a wee brown top on each of them and they are all connected on one branch.” – Aviraj

“Mine is in the blue hoop. It is long, light green and dirty. It is in a diamond shape.” – Fraser

“Mine is in the green hoop. It is a small object. It was red, orange and grey.” – Lucas A

“It is small, a bit dirty and hard. It kind of looks like a bit of small bread.” – Ryley

Literacy – THE DAY THE CHAIRS QUIT!!

On Thursday morning, the children in P3A came into their classroom where their chairs had been stacked and taped up! Why? Well, this was the day the chairs quit! They were tired of being swung on, having food rubbed on to them and being dragged across the floor, to name a few reasons! The children had to persuade their chairs to come back with their new persuasive writing skills.

I’m glad to report that it was a success and while the children were out at playtime, all the chairs returned to their normal position and the children were ecstatic that their letters had worked. Well done P3A and we promise not to let you down, chairs!
