Chloe – Yesterday Charlton College had a Late Stay/ Sleepover. First the F/1/2 played on the playground until it was time to have afternoon tea. We had popcorn, pretzels and smarties in a cup and a fruit platter. Then we went inside to do crafts and we made sunglasses . Then we went to play some relay games and then we had zooper doopers. It was then time for the Foundation students to leave. When they left, we went to play limbo, hula hoop and bobs and statues. Next, we went and had a sandcastle competition and we all won. Next, we made pizzas and had ice cream for dessert.

F/1/2 Writing

In Writing, our F/1/2 students have been exploring poetry through the poem The Day the Zoo Escaped. They enjoyed discovering the fun and imaginative language used in the poem before creating their own poems inspired by the text. We are excited to share a few of their wonderful creations below!

 

By Austin – The Day the Farm Escaped 

                   The chickens scurried happily,

                   the cows sprinted loudly,

                   the rabbits hopped quietly,

                   the dog ran quickly,

                  the pig rolled slowly,

                   the sheep crawled silently,

                   but the bull stubbornly stayed in his paddock.

 

By Charlie – The Day the Paddock Escaped

                      The sheep ran out quickly,

                      the cow skipped out happily,

                      the bull stomped out proudly,

                      the goat sprinted out quietly,

                      the snake slid out slowly,

                      the hare jumped out lightly,

                      the pig grumpily escaped,

                      but the chicken happily stayed in the paddock.

 

By Matilda – The Day the Farm Escaped

                      The dog wagged its tail happily,

                      the guinea fowl flew away happily,

                      the snake slid silently.

                      the cow ran quickly,

                      the sheep jogged away proudly,

                      the pig marches happily,

                      but the kangaroo stubbornly stayed right where it was.
