Extreme Earth Poetry

We have been studying different types of poetry including Kennings poems and Haikus. We combined this with our topic of Extreme Earth to create our own Extreme Earth poems.

Crazy Collage

We have been working with Mrs Hennegan to create collages in Art this term. Check out our incredible work:

Earthquake diary

In English we have been completing a slow write. We used a video to help inspire our imagination. We imagined we were in class when a huge earthquake occurred…. we then wrote a diary entry about it.

Chocolate Cake Performance Poetry

We have been learning from Michael Rosen how to effectively perform poetry.

Watch one of our groups perform the poem “Chocolate Cake.” by Michael Rosen:

We have had a lot of fun today re-creating islands based on contour line maps. This session really helped to improve our ability to understand and interpret contour lines. It certainly got quite messy!

Ocean art scenes

In Art we have been creating silohette pictures. We have been exploring water colour and focusing on how to vary the intensity of colour. We then used pen to create a shadowed sea scene.

Shared Writing- A Whale’s Tale

As part of our Talk4Writing process we have created a whole class shared story based on an animation called The Whale’s Tale. Each group wrote a paragraph, we then combined them to create our completed story:

Developing descriptive writing

In English we have been working on developing our descriptive techniques in preparation for our hot write. Check out Elijah’s writing:

A New Academic Year a New Topic- Under the Sea

This term we will be exploring under the sea as our topic. We will be looking at the seas and oceans of the world and the coasts. We will so be exploring the creatures that live in the sea and finding out about the environmental challenges faced by our seas and oceans.

Check out our self-portrait art work that we did during changeover day- it makes it look like we are looking out of a submarine porthole exploring our seas and oceans.
