Recognising contractions

I am learning to recognise contractions. I had to circle the words that had an apostrophe. This was easy for me because I looked for words that had an apostrophe and thought about the ones that had an apostrophe. When I looked at 'it's' I knew what to do. I had to circle this word because it is short for 'it is'. 

Acrostic poems

We are learning to write an acrostic poem. We wrote about spring. It can be tricky to spell words. We enjoyed writing something for each letter. We had to think of a word that started with S, P, R, I, N, G and we had to start our sentence with this letter.

Mrs Bovill typed the stories for us and we helped her publish them. We got to choose a colour for the capital letters, the font and we helped choose the size so our page was full. Our poems look awesome!

We are so proud because Mrs Bovill thinks they are fabulous and we wrote great stories. We are proud because we are poets.

“I love acrostic poems because they go down the page like leaves falling down the tree.” Sia.

Spring blossom

Look at our spring blossoms! First we drew the branch going across the page. We coloured our branches using pastel. We made the blossoms by scrunching up tissue paper and gluing them onto our trees. We then made a little bee or butterfly to go on our picture. We sketched our picture and then drew it on our plastic film. Mrs Bovill then cut them out and we glued them onto our picture.
