Dundee Clan have got off to a great start in term 2.\u00a0 We began our learning about the rainforest through reading the book \u2018The Great Kapock Tree\u2019 by Lynne Cherry.\u00a0 We loved listening to this and had so many questions and wonders that we want to explore further.\u00a0 So far, we have learnt about the 7 continents in the world, where rainforests are in the world, why they are so warm and wet and what animals live there through exploring habitats.\u00a0 We were surprised to learn that there is more than one rainforest in the world and that people live in the rainforest!\u00a0 We look forward to learning more.<\/p>\n

We have really enjoyed our visits from Mrs De Luen from NYCOS \u2013 The National Youth Choir of Scotland.\u00a0 We have learnt about keeping the beat in music, rhythm in music using notation and words to support us, and the pitch in music identifying high and low sounds as well as being introduced to notation.\u00a0 We played lots of games to support our learning and particularly loved having the parachute out.<\/p>\n

We are learning about a new genre of writing \u2013 narrative writing (story writing).\u00a0 We are confident with the purpose, structure and language features of this genre and have had a go at creating a scary story \u2013 The Haunted House, together as a clan.\u00a0 We loved learning about onomatopoeia words and how these types of words can add excitement and interest to our story writing.\u00a0 We are looking forward to creating narrative texts based in the rainforest.<\/p>\n
