Our Animal Day

On Tuesday we had a "creative day" with an animal focus.The whole school spent the day completing animal themed activities.
Class 3 enjoyed baking animal shaped biscuits with Mrs Millar, writing different animal poetry with Mrs Chadwick- poems based on Blake's Tyger Tyger poem, Haikus, Cinquains and Kennings,( Look out for our new writing display coming soon in school ), animal Top Trumps cards with Mr Campbell, art work with Mrs Duller and Mrs Richardson and Wordles and Tagxedos. ( ask your child to tell you or show you these).
And of course we never miss an opportunity to dress up! We could wear animal clothes- from Onesies to hats, to cuddly toys on desks...

Baking our biscuits

Did the biscuits get home or were they eaten?

Researching ready for our animal Top Trumps cards...

how fast... endangered rating...how tall...?

A poetry group-we read William Blakes classic Tyger Tyger poem then looked at another poem that showed what happens to tigers in captivity and then  wrote our own Tyger Tyger Turning White poems.

            Another poetry group working on their Kennings to describe their chosen animals.

Collage work- a Panda collage in progress ( a fabulous result at the end)

art work-paper plate masks, collages, felt, fur fabric...

great fun!

When asked if they had enjoyed the day- a unanimous YES , can we do it again tomorrow echoed around the class!

Mrs Duller was impressed with Elise-she showed creativity, originality and application and so received a special certificate in our celebrations assembly.
