Solar Systems and Sandy Seasides

Year 1

Our space theme has meant that we are learning the planet names and their order in the Solar System. We enjoyed watching a very informative video clip about them. We had to cut out and assemble the plants in the correct order. Rylee used his phonics to find the correct names and has stuck these next to the corresponding planet.

Here is what 1D had to say about the Solar System during their lesson.

 

“The sun is a flaming ball of fire.” - Ebrima

“Venus is the same size as Earth”. -Dorothy

“Venus is the same size as Earth but it spins the opposite way and moves slower.”- Daniel

“Life on earth depends on the sun.”- Merlyn

“Mercury is the closest planet to the sun.”- Sam

In our Literacy lessons we have looked at a space countdown poem. After exploring it through drama we wrote our own using alliteration and other ambitious vocabulary.

Year 2

This week in 2D we have been creating our own puppet shows. We used three puppets to help us create a story and wrote a play script to go with it. We also made a back drop to show what our setting looked like.

Here are the girls writing their script. Below is their performance.

 

2F have been creating list poems about the seaside. Phoebe has used a range of poetic devices to create her poem about what can be found in the waves!

She has chosen to use alliteration to describe the sand and descriptive language to bring the dolphin to life. She has also used personification to describe the seaweed and shells.


Within the peaceful waves...

A minuscule, sparkly, pink dolphin
A tiny hermit crab scuttling on the silky sand
Shells fighting the water
A message in a bottle from a school
The seaweed waving elegantly

How wonderful this place is!
