We have all been super impressed with the children's Literacy work this week! They have been focussing on expanded noun phrases linked to The Great Kapok Tree. We watched a catchy song that helped the children to remember what the rules are when writing an expanded noun phrase. Here is the link for you all to enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFJP1FNUEVY
Here are some of the examples from todays work:
The strong, hairy sloth slowly clambered down the tree to the logger. "Senor you can not chop down this tree, it is my home and I would not have anywhere to live".
The fierce, spotty jaguar ran up to the logger and growled "Senor you can not chop down this tree. We need these trees to live".
This afternoon the children used clay to make the main character from Ted Hughes book 'The Iron Man'. We were really impressed with their concentration, creativity and attention to detail when using the clay. Year 3 are really enjoying the story, we have just finished chapter 2 and are eagerly awaiting to start the next chapter to see what happens next!
It's great to see so many children reading at home and completing AR quizzes. We have a number of books now in our room which the children can access. They are are then left for 72 hours before being placed back in our library.
