We are learning to … perform a poem using good volume and eye contact.
I can … say the words clearly
I can … look at the audience
I can … stand still.
I can … use a volume of voice so people can hear me.
We are learning to … mix primary colours to create new ones and creat patterns with colour.
I can … choose colours to mix and describe what new colour I make
I can … experiment with a repeating colour pattern using art materials.
In talking & listening this week we have been trying hard to learn ‘Mince & Tatties’ and ‘Robin Reidbreist’. Everyone had a go of reciting the poem they had chosen to the class. Some people felt a little bit nervous and scared before they performed but afterwards felt proud! Hannah, Christopher, Connor and Iona were chosen to perform at the Scots Assembly.
In art we learned to mix colours to make brown. Floraidh remembered that we needed to mix red, yellow and blue. We also designed new tartan kilts for Katie Morag. Ruiraidh said we had to make a pattern using crayon lines.
We learned about a famous Scottish book character, Katie Morag. We had to write a description about her. We used descriptions like: curly, red hair / black boots / green kilt / rosy cheeks. We tried hard to use our sounds to write lots of this by ourselves.
We self-assessed our work by explaining what was good about it.
Keep learning your sounds and blending at home everyone – you are becoming very good writers and readers!
Here are a selection of children reciting their poems:
