Lunch under the cherry blossoms, lizards and similies and smiles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, we have got off to a great start!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, we ate lunch outside, sitting on blue sheets under the cherry blossoms. It was our own little hanami<\/em> party, and we had a lot of fun spotting and catching lizards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In science, we reviewed life cycles and learned about brumation<\/strong>, a seasonal adaptation that helps reptiles and amphibians survive the winter. We also started learning about food chains<\/strong>. Many of us wondered what lizards eat, so this will be a great chance to explore that, and perhaps learn about other local predators too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In English, we have started our poetry unit. We will be learning about poetic devices while reading, analysing, comparing, and enjoying seasonal poetry. We began with I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud<\/em>, a spring poem about daffodils, and used it as a springboard to learn about similes and metaphors. These are wonderful tools for making writing more interesting and for creating vivid imagery and emotion. On Monday, we will begin writing our own poems. As we build our \u201cpoetry toolbox,\u201d our writing will become more expressive. I am really looking forward to seeing what the children create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also received our new spelling words. This week, we are focusing on prefixes<\/strong>, practising and expanding our understanding of how they change the meaning of words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news, we now have a class fish, caught from outside, although we are sadly down one terrapin. We enjoyed playing with pen pen gusa, and on Friday, we had a lovely trip to the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many beautiful flowers around at the moment, including the golden daffodils that inspired our poem this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to open class day on Monday! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
