We've made some lovely kites this week and have been learning all about wind. Miss Ayres has bought us a real kite to fly, but it hasn't been windy enough yet!
This afternoon we watched a bit of the film Mary Poppins when the children fly their kite. We listened to the song Let's Go Fly a Kite from the film - well done to Olivia, who already knew most of the words and joined in very enthusiastically! We talked about some of the words sung in the song, such as 'soaring' and 'breeze'. We also thought of some words of our own to describe how a kite might move, such as 'gliding' (Trystan) and used some adverbs to describe its movement, like 'slowly' (Matthew). Miss Ayres also taught us the word 'gracefully'. We used words to describe the kites, such as 'beautiful' and 'colourful' and words to describe the sky, for example, 'bright' and 'cloudy'. Then we put all our words together to make a sentence to describe a kite. Our class sentence was: The colourful kite soared slowly in the bright blue sky.
After that we had some kite pictures to decorate. We thought of some words to describe the kite and put one word in each of the four sections of the kite. Some of us then wrote sentences using the words we had chosen. Next week we are going to finish colouring and decorating our kites. Well done to Lucy, who wrote a brilliant sentence - The beautiful kite is soaring gracefully in the gentle breeze.
It was such a nice day today we were even able to be outside to do all of our work and our Play and Learn time!
