River Presentations:
Over the Easter break, Year 5 were set a task to research a world famous River and turn their research into a PowerPoint presentation. They were set with the task to find out:
– the location of the river including a map of the country
– how many countries the river flows through
– the length of the river
– if there is any wildlife living in or around the river
– who uses the river and why
– what is it most famous for
The Year 5’s all did a wonderful job and really impressed Miss Stone with their confident presenting skills. They are all very knowledgeable about their individual rivers and were respectful when their peers were presenting.
Bella – It was really fun to present in front of my class
Shay – I learnt how to do cool and weird stuff on my presentations
Felix – It was fun to learn about all the different types of rivers
Shape Poems
Over the past few weeks, Year 5 have been learning about Poetry and linking it to their class text ‘Once Upon a Raindrop’ by James Carter and Nomoco. The children have been working towards creating their own shape poem with the theme of water. They have all worked incredibly hard to include the poetry features learnt about, such as, rhyme, onomatopoeia, alliteration, assonance, imagery, similes and metaphors. When they had finished writing their poems they performed their poems to the class. Miss Stone was very impressed with the quality of poems in the class!
Caleb – it was fun to design the shape of the poem and then write the poem inside the shape
Ilayda – it was to read my poem out and listen to everybody else’s too
Tiago – I enjoyed drawing the shape of my poem
Selina – I enjoyed learning about shape Poems!
