IPC - Flowers and Insects
Language Arts
We are continuing to create our art work in the style of Eric Carle. Alongside this, we are also looking for interesting words to describe our flowers and insects as well as developing a title for our art piece. Some of their work will be on display by the Gabriel stairwell (opposite Prep 1LMe) at the end of this week. Do pop by to have a look at their masterpieces.
Look at this link to see how Eric Carle uses interesting words to create an image in the readers' mind.

Our CAFE strategy this week is Vinny Vocab Vulture. This fits in beautifully with our Writers Workshop where we are collecting interesting words to use in our own writing.
Math

This week we have looked at Excellence.
Next week, we will be looking at the Virtue of Diligence!
You are practising diligence when you...
*Do things step by step.
*Don't give up.
*Give your absolute best to what you do.
