In Maths we have been looking at patterns. We know that a pattern can be made from shapes, colours, objects and numbers to name a few. We have found patterns outside in the playground, on our clothes, in the classroom, almost everywhere! We took photos on the IPads of them and made a pic collage.
Mystery Reader
A very big thank you to Birgitta (Anton's Auntie) for coming in and reading to us on Tuesday. We are very grateful you the took time from you holiday to share a story with us. Especially a Dr Seuss story, they're our favourites!
Birgitta read - "Horton Hears A Who!" written by Dr Seuss. The story tells of an elephant called Horton who hears a speck of dust speak to him. He places it on a clover convinced it is a small planet. However, he struggles to protect this tiny microscopic community from his neighbours who just don't believe that this planet exists. The story has a great message for the children which is repeated throughout the book "a person's a person, no matter how small."
Language
We have been looking at poetry and the styles of poems there are. This week we have been concentrating on 'Diamante Poems'. A diamante poem, or diamond poem, is a style of poetry that is made up of seven lines.
Noun
Adjective, Adjective
Verb, Verb, Verb
Noun, Noun, Noun, Noun
Verb, Verb, Verb
Adjective, Adjective
Noun
Together we organised lots of words into the three categories - Nouns, Adjectives and Verbs.
Then as a whole class we chose the feeling Anger and wrote a diamante poem together.
I think we did a really good job!
Don't forget Assembly tomorrow - Friday 29th January at 1:45pm in the school gym.
Hope to see you there.
