Penguin poetry!
Date: 27th Jan 2024 @ 8:09am
This week the penguins received a very special delivery! We had a letter stuck in our tree outside! It was from the mother owl in our story ‘Owl Babies’. Mother Owl asked the penguins for help. She wanted the children to write her a poem which she could read every night to her baby owl, Bill. The poem would tell him why mummy went off hunting during the night and that he didn’t need to be scared of the dark wood or the noises he heard.
The penguins embraced the challenge! They had wonderful ideas, beautiful writing and were very caring towards our baby owl Bill. Mrs. Brown visited our classroom and saw the penguins super busy with this work and she awarded the class with a class compliment! Super penguins! The poem is already amazing but we have decided to put actions to it and learn it as a class. The penguins would like to perform it on the stage!
Homework - next week homework will be focusing on the formation of some of our tricky letters. Please refer back to the guide in your homework folder which shows how we swoosh up to start and then end each letter with a flick (ready to join onto another letter later in school)
Homework - the week after will be our last week of this half term. For homework we will send your ‘All about me’ book home ready for the next chapter. We really do appreciate your help and support with this book, thank you.
Thank you for the amazing projects sent into school. We did show and share on Thursday and Friday. We will also do this on Monday as we still have some projects to look at before they are displayed in the hall.
We have an exciting week ahead! We have a rock steady workshop, a school governor coming to visit our class, an afternoon of art with clay, a busy week with capacity and mass and to end our week we will be painting to music. We will listen to lots of music and express how it makes us feel in our painting.
