Onomatopoeia Poems

This month we are learning about Onomatopeias. An onomatopeia is a word that imitates the sound it describes. We wrote our own onomatopeia poems and designed posters for some onomatopeia words.

Donegal Projects


When Donegal won the Football All Ireland we decided to find out more about Donegal. In groups we researched Donegal and did a project on what we found out.











Recount Writing

 
 
We are learning about Recount Writing. When we write a recount we must remember to write about; who, when, where, what, why and feelings.
 
When we write our News we use our Recount Clown to help us.
 
 

Apples

In English we learned how to write acrostic poems. We wrote acrostic poems with the word HARVEST. In Science we learned about how apples grow and in Art we made apples by doing a collage with red and green paper.
