Book Week. Week Ending: 4.3.16

Hello,

This week we have had an amazing time celebrating Book Week. We have taken part in 12 stop and reads. Well done to Maple Class who achieved the most stop and reads over the week.

We also created our own poems. We listened to the poem The Ning Nang Nong. Then we came up with our own nonsense poems. These were very funny and silly!

Prof. Pango Mango came into school and he performed a variety of fantastic poems to us. Some of them were nonsense poems and we joined in with actions and props!

Some of us visited the Juniors and some of the Juniors came over to Chestnut Class. We all read 'The Rainforest Grew All Around'. Then after this we took part in some art activities and also we created some calligrams and acrostic poems about rainforest animals.

Today we dressed up as a book character and then in Creative Writing we included our book characters within our stories.

This afternoon there was a whole school stop and read. It has been lovely to celebrate lots of different books this week. Don't forget to record any reading you do at home into your reading record and ask a grown up to sign it after reading to them.

Money has been our focus within Maths this week. We have been exploring different ways to create an amount and we have also been using our empty number line and partitioning skills.

Home Learning this week is to research the digestive system as we will be learning about this in Science next week.

Well done to Eoghan who is our Star of the Week for his fantastic concentrating skills during his sewing.

Swoop our Learning Owl is going to spend the weekend with Jasmine because Jasmine showed great perseverance when she found an activity challenging. Well done, we hope you have a lovely weekend!


What a busy week we have had, we hope you all enjoyed yourselves!

Enjoy the weekend,

Chestnut Class
