The children are busy climbing Tables Mountain (See their homework and ask them for details).

Literacy: Our new genre is Poetry. This week we will be learning how to use a selection of poems to explore how to create images using words.

The children will find and use adjectives and adjective phrases (eg ‘the really slimy worm’) to convert a poem to prose.

They will use their voice to add excitement to a poem performance and, next week, compose poems using the themes of animals & weather.

Creative Curriculum: In our time travellers topic we will be learning about the Ancient Olympic Games and planning our own event.
