Synonyms

Once a week to begin our literacy session we look at a word (a boring word we call it) and come up with as many words as we can which mean the same (a synonym). We place all our words into our McDonalds wall and we can go to this wall whenever we want to use a more sparkly, interesting word in our writing. 

Rocks Rock

Today, we were being scientists and were examining the rocks which we have been gathering over the past week. We drew up tables in our inquiry books and went round the classroom with handheld microscopes to examine the characterstics of each rock.

It was so fascinating!
