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.

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.

Terrific Tomato!
