Over the past few weeks we have been looking into writing clear, detailed explanations. We watched a Wallace and Grommit Animation called ‘The Snoozathon’ from the Cracking Contraptions series. After talking through the sequence of events and adding actions we wrote explanatory captions to go with still photos taken from the animation. Using the Voicethread website we added voiceovers to still images and then played them back to evaluate our work.
Over the last 3 weeks we have been reading and writing poems about Winter. We learned to use Microsoft Photostory and then created photostories for our poems. We had to choose relevant pictures and music as well.
This week the children designed and made clothes for rich and poor Tudor people. Watch the slideshow here- can you guess which outfits are for the rich and which are for the poor?
We talked about our feelings and how certain things made us feel a certain way. We also discussed how our senses are liked to the emotions we feel. After writing ‘Emotion Poems’ we chose our favourite line to include on the blog. Listen here.
We studied Roger McGough’s poem “The Writer of this poem” and wrote our own versions. We then chose our favourite lines to write a class poem. Listen here.
