Kennings

We took the children to the forest to get some inspiration for our poetry lesson.  Read some of our kennings below :)

Ethical Fashion lesson

We discussed how fast fashion can be harmful to the environment and came up with ideas to help look after our clothes.  Here are some tips -

• learn skills such as sewing & patching clothes (rework the fabric to create something new, such as a pillow case) 
• pay attention to care labels 
• return and recycle clothes 
• shop in charity shops
• wash clothes less frequently to reduce water waste

Haikus

We started our first week back learning how to write haikus.  The children watched a short clip from Seven Worlds, One Planet to get some inspiration. 

Here are some fantastic examples written from the leopard seal vs penguin scene. 

Calling for mercy

Flying in the open sea

The ice flows like wind

On a floating ice 

Comes the evil leopard seal

Chasing the penguin 

Comes the teasing leopard seal

Ready to attack

Science homework

These were some of my favourite examples of Dirt Puddings. Well done boys!
