Save the elephants

This week we read Jack and the Beanstalk. The boys all created an imaginary world they would like to find at the top of the beanstalk. They wrote adjectives using commas in a list to describe their fantasy world. They thought of lots of fantastic describing words.

In Art this week the boys had a great time printing T-shirts inspired by African fabrics. Lots of the boys said they never want to take their T-shirts off once they are dry 🙂

Last week the boys learnt about endangered animals. 1G researched about the ivory trade. The boys made some posters about saving the elephants. They presented in three groups to 1TD. Group one spoke about animals facts, group two described what an endangered animals is and group three informed 1TD about the ivory trade.
