Our Poems

At writing time we are learning to write poetry. Last week we wrote 'skinny' poems. Our skinny poems about balloons and clouds are hanging up in our classroom. Today we wrote 'colour' poems. Here's a sample:

Our snow stories are now published in a booklet - have a read of them.

Today we had our first visit in the Life Education Truck. We loved seeing Harold. He was impressed when we said: 'Good morning, Harold' in sign language. We watched a DVD about each of us being special. Then we learnt about parts of our body and what we need to keep us healthy. We also sang the song 'Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes' (see the photo). We are really excited about seeing Harold again tomorrow.

I am impressed with the number of knowledge-a-thon questions the children already know. How's the sponsorship going? Please get your cards filled in and bring them back to school as soon as possible. Remember there are some great prizes to be won!
