On Friday, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. This week Mrs Craig Read the book: I am peace. It was about a how to control your feelings.
I chose to make a peace tree and a poem!
For the last two weeks we have been learning about different kinds of poetry for reading and writing. I decided to publish this poem. It is a Blackout poem.
This week we carried on with our ‘insect’ topic for reading, writing, handwriting and art. For maths we practised basic facts and worked on writing a variety of equations which would have a certain number for the answer. We also practised solving problems using place value or known facts knowledge. Here is a selection of my work, hope you like it!
Because we were using ‘Insects’ as a topic this week for reading and writing we created some works of art based on insects . We had to make them out of any materials we could find at home. I chose to use some cardboard, and coloured paper. We also got to write an imaginary story about what it might feel like if you underwent metamorphosis like insects do.
There is a photo of my creation at the bottom of this page under my writing. I hope you enjoy!
This week we got to write about anything we did in the weekend. Here is my work. I hope you like it.
This week we went on a hunt in the playground to see if we could find some feathers. We didn’t find any but luckily our teachers had collected some so then we came back to class and wrote about them using our senses of sight and touch to describe them. Here is my work hope you like it.
This writing task was about a language experience. Our teachers brought different kinds of chocolate to school and we got to eat it! We tried white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel chocolate and pink chocolate. We could write about it in any way we liked but our teachers hoped we would use lots of describing language and our senses.
One of our writing activities this week was to write about the old church next to our school using lots of adjectives, adverbs and other kinds of descriptive language. First we all went over to the church to look at the outside of it and use our senses to notice all the building’s colours, textures and shapes. Here is my work.
We are learning how to write a couplet poem. We looked at an example on page 32 of SJ 1.4 1992. Then we had to choose our own noun, two opposite adjectives to describe it, think of rhyming words for the end of each line and finish the last line with a onomatopoeia word repeated 3 times. Here is my work.
This week for reading we had to focus on being able to find adjectives in a story and match them with the nouns they described. Here is my work.
Kia ora.
We are learning that Basic Punctuation means that you have a capital letter at the start of a sentence, and a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark at the end of every sentence when you do a piece of writing.
We have been learning how to use adjectives to describe a mood and atmosphere. here is a picture of our tree that my group made and the adjectives to describe the mood. Can you guess the mood and atmosphere?
