This week we read the poem ‘The Sound Collector’ by Roger McGough .
We looked carefully at the poem and identified the ‘secret strings’ that held the poem together:
- Includes sound words
- The sound describes the object
- Each new description is written on a new line
- Each stanza is four lines long
- The second and fourth line rhyme
We then wrote our own version of the poem where we described the sounds that The Grinch might steal at Christmas time.
This week we recorded our Christmas Show. We are looking forward to editing the scenes together and sharing the performance with you. The children have worked very hard to learn all of the songs and it was wonderful to see them perform their lines with such clarity and confidence.
On Wednesday 16th December it will be the KS1 Christmas party. The children must bring in their own party food in a snack/lunch box as we are unable to share food this year due to COVID guidelines. The children are invited to change into a party outfit for the afternoon. Please can the children bring in their outfit on Monday 14th December in a named bag so that the items have enough time to be quarantined before the party.
On Thursday 17th December we would like to give the children the chance to make their own castle as part of a D.T. project to consolidate our learning about castles of the UK. Please can the children bring in a cereal box on Monday 14th December which they will use to create their castle . This gives enough time that they can be left in quarantine before we make the castles on Thursday morning.
We hope you have a restful weekend,
Miss Luetchford and Mrs Sharon 🙂
