Houses from Ecuador painted in the Folk Art style.

Week One

We have looked at the animals on Galapagos Islands and we wrote poems as a class about the iguana and the blue footed boobie bird.
We brainstormed our ideas and wrote the poems together.

  The Iguana

Iguanas

Love to lie in the sun with a friend

To warm up 

To  get some energy 

Sunning themselves on a rock

Smiley faces in the sun

Well camouflaged bodies

Patchy colours and spikes

Running down their backs

Right down to the tip of their tails.

Rough and scaly are their skins

Ancient animals from long ago

Reminding us of dinosaurs long gone

Family of lizards

Living on Galapagos Islands in the sun

The Blue-Footed Boobie

The Blue footed boobie

It's got a name that makes you laugh

It's got feet like a goose

That's blue like the sea  

It's like a penguin with blue feet 

But loves the heat.

It loves to eat worms and fish

Spiders, grubs and crunchy crabs

Its wings are black not blue

It's the funniest bird you'll ever see

On Galapagos Islands in the sea.

WELCOME TO TERM 3

Dear Everyone,

Hope you all had a lovely holiday with your children.
Hopefully all the coughs and colds would be soon behind us.

Just a note about Spelling homework:
I have sent the level list in the children's homework books. This is a revision list, these are words that the children should know. Please just through them orally and  words not yet mastered can be noted as a list to learn. Children need to know these before progressing to the next level.

We are continuing with Reading Eggs and Mathletics so the subs for these need to be paid at the office. If you have already paid, of course it lasts until further notice.

Thanks
Vanita Chandra
