Hello from Primary 6/7
This week we have been continuing with our Caribbean topic. For our taught writing lesson this week we were learning about the genre, ‘recount’. We were looking at the features of this and writing a postcard, imagining we were holidaying on a Caribbean island (if only!) we had to use a range of similes, adjectives, write in the past tense and use relevant information about the island (hotel, food, activities, landmarks, weather etc) in our recount. They all turned out fantastically and made us all wish we were there!
We have also been designing costumes as we have been learning about Carnival. We have been talking about the culture and history of this event and how slavery had a major impact on the dress, food and music of this. Our designs are well underway and we are looking forward to decorating these with feathers, sequins, glitter to make them more elaborate and suited for the event. We will also be designing masks to accompany these. We also completed our Caribbean sunsets, they have brightened up our display and we are very proud of them.
