Emotion Poems

Along with our colour poems we have been writing we wrote emotion poems too. We talked about what the emotion looked like, felt like, sounded like, smelt like, tasted like and what particular colour represented that emotion.

For example;
Blue = sad
Pink = embarrassed, love
Red = anger
Black = fear

Here are some of our poems.

Colour Poetry

We have been writing poetry this week. We started with colour poems looking at what the specific colour is in the world followed by what we think it looks, feels, tastes, smells, and sounds like.  Here are some of our poems that we have written.

Firewise

This term we have been learning about firewise. Today firefighter Matt came to talk to us.

Points from his talk:

• Smoke is fire.
• Get down, get low, get out!
• Firefighters need special gear before fighting a fire.
• If there is a fire we need to shout fire, fire, fire!
• We need a safe meeting place to meet all your family and to ring 111.
• Smoke alarms give us a warning after 4 sec.
• We should have a smoke alarm in every bedroom, hallway and lounge.

Geometric Art

This week we have been looking at geometric art in preparation for our calendar art.  First we looked at lots of examples. Then we used paper plates, masking tape and paint to create our own geometric design. The masking tape was used to create the white lines between the blocks of colour. It was fun and our artwork looks fantastic!

The three steps - a plain plate, added masking tape, paint then we removed the tape to reveal our artwork.

Trade Aid talk

Today we listened to a talk about Trade aid and how they help people around the world sell the goods and crafts they make. Trade Aid is there to help people in poverty make a better life for them and the children.

These girls created a role play about a poor family who made baskets and sold them to Trade Aid to get more money.
