Spring

We have been learning all about spring. We now know that beautiful flowers grow in spring, birds return from hot countries, the days get longer and baby animals are born. The snowdrop is the first flower of spring. We decided to paint this beautiful spring background and then painted chicks, flowers, rabbits and lambs for our spring scene. We are very proud of our spring picture.

Learning About Different Countries

We learned all about Australia and China. We found out what life is like for everyone living in these countries. When we are going to school, children in Australia are in bed. It takes 24 hours to get to Australia. We wrote facts about Australia and painted some Australian animals. This year is the year of the rabbit in China. Chinese New Year was in February. We learned that the Great Wall of China is the only thing that can be seen from outer space. Chinese people love to eat rice and drink tea. We made lovely Chinese Dragons for the Chinese New Year and looked at some Chinese writing.

The Sound Collector

We learned the poem The Sound Collector by Rodger Mc Gough when we came to school after our Christmas holidays. Then we wrote our own versions of the poem. Here are some of verses we made up:
The purring of the kitten.                        The roaring of the lion,
The roaring of the lion.                           The hissing of the snake.
The croaking of the frog.                        The barking of the dog.
The barking of the dog.                          The squeaking of the
The neighing of the horse.                     mouse.         
The snapping of the crocodile.              The purring of the cat.
The squeaking of the mice.                   The munching of the giraffe.
The Hissing of the snake.                      The stumping of the rhino.

The squeaking of a mouse                    The purring of the cat.
The barking of the dog.                          The barking of the dog.
The screaming of a monkey.                  The hissing of a snake.
The roaring of a cheetah.                        The roaring of a lion.
The hissing of a snake.                           The croaking of a frog.
The tweeting of a bird.                             The howling crocodile.
The neighing of horse.                             By Martin
The creaking of the spider.
