Writing our letters to a friendsmileyheart

 

I thought writing a letter to one of our friends would be a lovely way to say hello and to have something special to maybe put on our walls or in our rooms to remind us of how important we are to one another. These will hopefully keep us going until we are all back together in class. (I can't wait!)laugh

 

I have paired you together as best I can based on your friendship groups, but also on whether or not you may have been in close contact with anyone or if you have already seen a lot of a friend in school.

I  am asking a couple of you to write your letter to 2 friends (just write for example,  Dear Xavier and Theo - that's you Enea!) and if you are happy to pop them into our school box outside the school office I will photocopy them and send them to your 2 friends.

I have a couple of you in a 'triangle' where you will be sending letters between 3 of you. Hopefully it will all work out!smiley

A list of our letter writing friends

Here is a little powerpoint (I'll also upload as a PDF) to explain how to lay out your letter. It is informal to our friends!

I include a scaffold below to help you to lay your letter out and a document to print should you like to use it. You can use your own paper and maybe decorate it like Michael did in the story book of letters we heard yesterday. If you planned your ideas yesterday have them ready. If not, don’t worry, the scaffold will guide you. 
Remember to show your friends your best handwriting and use your sound knowledge to spell your words. laugh

Our Afternoon Learning -Geography

 

Learning outcome; To review our learning from the past few weeks. 

 

You might like to have a little refresh on our learning from the start of term in our Geography work. This has been on Thursday afternoons from week 2.

 

In Summary we have learnt;

 

  • In which continent Kenya is
  • In which continent we live
  • We learnt about the life of Lila who comes from a Maasai tribe.
  • Through our book, Lila and the Secret of Rain we heard how Kenya can be affected by drought; a lack of rain and water
  • We compared our lives to Lila's; our homes, schools, the landscape, and our hobbies.
  • We learnt about how close Kenya is to the equator and that this is why it is such a hot country. 
  • We have looked at the traditional jewellery worn by the Maasai tribes, their clothes, their jobs and their jumping competitions.
  • We made our fabulous African masks; which were based on animals or African anscestors.
  • Last week we looked at the animals we would find in the African Safari.
