Crafty Fun

What a wonderful time we had making sea creature bookmarks with Kailan and his clever, crafty mum. Here are a selection of the beautiful bookmarks we made yesterday. What a great way to finish off a term learning about sea creatures!

Dreamy Writing

We enjoyed writing about our dreams. It was a bit like writing a mini recount! They are on display outside our classroom. Here is Ben's work.

Our Whale Projects

Yesterday we researched whales on kidrex.org. Today we made mini projects about whales. Have a look at these well-presented projects by Adam, Kailan and Riley.

Writing Descriptions

Today we each chose an object from our Sea Creature Museum and wrote a simple description. Here is Junhong's writing about Katie's shark.

Writing a Sea Creature Narrative

This week we have been talking about narratives. Narratives are stories and we have been looking out for the introduction, problem and solution that is in most stories. Yesterday the children decided what the main character would be in their own narrative. They drew their character and gave it a name. Today they wrote a narrative about their character. They introduced their character in the first paragraph. In the second paragraph, each story told about a problem and in the last paragraph the problem was somehow solved. Well done on lots of creative thinking and writing in 1B! Here is Grace's narrative about Billie the Sea Jelly and Lucy's narrative about Shiler the Stonefish. Thanks Miss Downing for this fun and creative activity! Enjoy!

Our Favourite Sea Creatures

What is your favourite sea creature and why?

Making Sea Creatures!

Here is a photo of the Sea Creatures we made with Miss Downing on Tuesday afternoon. Who did you work with? What did you make? How did you make it? What words DESCRIBE your creature?
