Insects

Some of the children have been learning to write descriptions this week. Since we have been talking about insects we decided to write descriptions of insects.  The children used a writing checklist  to make sure that their description had the name of the insect, its colour and a word describing the size of the insect.  They used the books that we had been reading to find the words they needed.  Take a look at the photos of these amazing writers at work.



Here is the video of the children reading their descriptions.  They each drew a picture of their insect on kidpix which you can see at the start of each clip.

Wow, what fantastic descriptions! I liked how you talked about the colours of your insects. I can see that you have been practicing how to use kidpix, your pictures are great.
