P5s Easter Poetry
L.I. We are learning to use interesting vocabulary to write a poem about Easter.
S.C. -I can use features specific to a poem
– I can include key vocabulary linked to the topic
– I can include examples of rhyme
– I can use interesting verbs and adjectives to describe my chosen subject
As we look forward to the Easter season, P5a have been learning about the true meaning behind this special time of year.
We were asked by Mrs McKenzie to write some Easter poems to be recited as part of our Easter service at Kirk of Calder.
We worked in groups to come up with a bank of rhyming words and shared some examples of Easter poems.
Leah Schmidt and Niamh Sher had their poems selected to be read at the service. Both girls included some excellent examples of rhyme and worked hard to uplevel their poems after receiving feedback.
They read their poems aloud beautifully at the church and really helped everyone to get into the spirit of Easter – well done, girls!

P2/3 Easter Assembly
Rhuairidh – Easter is a very nice time because there are lots of new flowers and new animals. All the flowers are bright.
James – We love seeing new things being born and growing up. We like seeing calves and especially lambs.
Cara – We have been learning how to draw and paint Easter-time flowers and we love seeing loads of flowers coming out.
Annalise – We like planting flowers at spring because we really like the petals when they bloom and the colours.
Daisy D – We love to celebrate the new life at spring-time.
We loved learning about the artist Elizabeth Blackadder and the Easter story. Some girls loved learning new words for yellow – pineapple, butterscotch and a lovely shade called daffodil! We did a lot of colour mixing to get the right shades for our terracotta pots of dwarf narcissi.
We hope you can come and see us at the church on Thursday afternoon. Daisy F says you can look up the yellow words on Google.
