Reading Activities

During Reading we have a wide range of activities we can do to help our learning.  One of the literacy games we enjoy is called 'Silly Sentences.'  Here are some examples of the silly sentences we created last week.
 

Easter Bunny Descriptions

We wrote these great Easter Bunny descriptions a couple of weeks ago.  Mrs Robertson typed up our stories and we illustrated our own writing.

We had to use adjectives to describe what the Easter Bunny looks like.  We also had to use joining words (such as 'so', 'and', 'because', 'which', 'but')  to help add details


Come and read the rest of our Easter Bunny descriptions up on the wall in our classroom!

PLANTS

We watched an episode of the Magic School Bus which was all about what plants need to survive, the different functions of the parts of plants, and how plants make their own food. We made this poster afterwards which show all of the amazing facts that we learned.

Leaf Art- Positive & Negative Images
We made these leaf art pictures.  We drew half of a leaf and cut it out.  We flipped it over to form the other half.  We glued them onto another piece of paper.



Autumn Trees
Mrs Garden has been taking us for some very cool art when she has been relieving in the classroom.  First we had to dye the background using three different colours in a circular motion.  Then we had to draw some branches and blow blobs of black dye with a straw to make the extra leaves.   We haven't all  finished these yet....we can't wait until Mrs Garden is back in the class to finish them off and get them on the wall with some Autumn writing.

Writing Challenge #5


Your challenge is to write a story about this Easter Bunny.
 You can describe the bunny using adjectives and use joining words to help add details. 
What will your bunny do?
