Letter of the Week Rr

We worked together today to find objects that begin with this week's letter of the week Rr and objects that do not begin with Rr. We thought that we would use the colour red for the Rr objects because red starts with an r too. Ms F

Letter of the Week Rr

We made a slideshow as a class today for our letter of the week this week which is Rr. We took turns taking photos with the digital camera and then we chose all the special effects together as a whole class. Some people liked some things and others didn't so we needed to vote each time to be fair!

Fruit Kidpix

Ms F has finally managed to get some of our Kidpix drawings onto the class blog! We only have a few to share at the moment. Can you guess what fruit we tried to draw? This is our first time using Kidpix and we had fun!

Funny Food Faces!

Yesterday in writing we made some food faces with bread! We used something fruit or vegetables for the eyes, nose, mouth and hair. We thought the faces looked very funny! We did some great writing describing what the faces looked like. We had to think about the colours, shapes and size of the fruit and vegetables. We are going to choose the 4 best pieces of writing to be published next week.

2D Shapes Slideshow

We went for a walk around our playground and took turns taking photos of 2D and 3D shapes. Then we practised putting them into a slideshow using the smartboard and the data projector. Some of us are going to make our own slideshows next week. We had lots of fun trying the different effects! Come and look again soon for more slideshows.

Lemon Tasting!

We did a lemon tasting as a motivation for our writing sample this Term. Most of us weren't too keen on the taste but some of us liked it! We did a mindmap using our senses to come up with some good descriptive words to help us do great writing. Can you think of anything we could have added?

Where does food come from?

Watch this video clip and answer these questions: What do we need food for? What are 2 places we can get food from? Where do fruit and vegetables come from? What 3 animals can we get milk from? What bird other than a hen gives us eggs?

The Gingerbread Man

Watch this uTube video. How many different 2D shapes can you spot in the characters and backgrounds?

Letter of the Week Gg

We worked in a group with the Teacher aide today to find things in our magic box that start with the letter Gg. We found g can make 2 different sounds. We put the things into two groups to show the two different sounds g can make. We matched word labels to the things in the box. Then we did a worksheet and had to find all the things beginning with g.

Our Food Rainbow!

We wrote similes today in writing. We made a word bank of all the different fruits and vegetables for each colour of the rainbow. We did lots of talking with different buddies and Ms F put the timer on so we could tell when to stop thinking of ideas and share with the class. Can you think of any fruit and vegetables we have missed? We found blue and violet tricky colours. We are going to publish our similes soon.

The Ravenous Beast

We watched the Ravenous Beast by Niamh Sharkey on dvd today and we tried really hard to find out what ravenous means. After watching the dvd we think it is the hungriest of them all because that's what all the animals in the story say! We made a list of all the different words that describe how the animals eat in the story.

After that we did a venn diagram for the little white mouse and the marmalade cat from the story to see how they are the same and different. We tried hard to underline the adjectives and adverbs.
