Maths
We continued with 'Place Value' this week and had a number of different activities that helped us to recognise a numbers value, how to make numbers and add them together using place value blocks. We also shared with you on Seesaw the value of the first letter of our name.
Team Time
It is always fun every friday morning to get together as a whole Grade and share our learning together. This week we got to make shadow finger puppets.
Poems
We had a great day on Friday! We had a go at writing sensory poems about popcorn!
| Sensory Poetry By Brenda B. Covert |
1 You know the five senses. You need them to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. Did you know that you can turn them into poetry? It is true! We call it sensory poetry.
2 A sensory poem may describe an object. It may describe a place. It may describe an idea. It will tell the reader about the sights and sounds. It will share the smells and tastes. The poem will talk about touch.

We first brainstormed lots of adjectives that we thought described popcorn with Mr Jon. We talked about our personal experiences and what popcorn reminded us of. It seems the cinema was the most common connection we all had.
Since for a sensory poem we needed to use all five of our senses we made popcorn right there in the classroom. The students got to see it, smell it, hear it, touch it and taste it. Apparently it was the best day ever!
The students will be posting their completed poems on seesaw this week for you :-)
Have a great weekend everyone!
