My Living Thing

• We are learning to understand that all living things need different things to survive

During term 2, C6 have been learning about living things; we learnt about honey bees, oak trees, and kiwis. For our assessment, they had to create their own creature/living thing, and label how it breathes and how it moves. They then wrote a report that explained what their creature was, what it looked like, where it lived, and what it needed to survive. Next they put it all together into a poster.

Little Red Riding Hood in C6!

• We are learning to re-tell a story in the correct sequence
• We are learning to work cooperatively in a group

Today in C6 we listened to the story "Little Red Riding Hood". We then got into groups and had to work together to write down the characters names, and the sequence of the story; what happened first, next, and last. We then did a play in our groups and acted out the story, with a few brave groups performing to the class! Our next step is to re-tell the story in our writing books independently.
