The Colours of my Heart

This week in Room 15 we have been thinking about colours and our feelings. We read the book My Many Coloured Days and then wrote about a day that we felt bright blue or red. We also wrote poems using similes and created art to show the colours and feelings in our hearts.

Home learning Week 4- All About Autumn

This week for Room 15's home learning we were thinking all about autumn. We read poems and books about autumn and used autumn leaves as inspiration for our art and writing.

Our first challenge was to collect autumn leaves and sort them into groups by size, colour or shape. Can you tell how we sorted these leaves?







Some of us also took on the challenge of creating autumn art in a unique way.






We also wrote sentences about an autumn scene. We wrote about what we see, hear, smell, taste and touch when it's autumn. Can you picture the autumn scenes that we have described?
