Going Green!

On Espresso there is a quiz to find out how green you are. We have all completed this quiz and have been given a score and a list of targets that will help us be more environmentally friendly. In our classroom we are making a display in our classroom showing the results and the targets we need to reach to be more eco-friendly.

Most of us have a good score already but we could always do a bit better!!!!

Calligrams

In literacy we are learning about calligrams and shape poems. We have found a very exciting website that shows animals in a zoo as calligrams. Why not take a look?

We discussed with our talking partners which calligram we liked best and which one we thought was the cleverest. We had to look at the way the letters had been formed and any punctuation that had been used to create the shapes of the animals. We even tried drawing the calligram ourselves.

We loved it!!!
