OOEY GOOEY Friday Fun!

During the week the children were introduced to a story called "Bad Luck Duck" We read this every morning and discuss various aspects of the story writing e.g. illustrative text, ellipses, punctuation, language usage.....

The words that were emphasized in the story were OOEY , GOOEY and STUCK. After some thought we decided that these words would be ideal to use in the form of poems.

Thus on Friday we read the story using expression....

divided our class into groups in the hall and told them to close their eyes ....

and when they opened them they had trays of JELLY in front of them! 

We then allowed them to play with the jelly experimenting.......

and while they were doing this we got descriptive words from them....

Some of the words!

After this we went 'a sploshing' onto the field.....some in gumboots  ...... and then we made mud! Oh what fun....

 

Back to the classroom to write poems .....

and they did them beautifully! Please pop in and read them in the classroom on our back wall!
