Book Week - Acrostic Poem

What is an acrostic poem?

An acrostic poem uses the letters in a topic word to begin each line. All lines of the poem should relate to or describe the topic word.

Here is an example:

Unit 3 – Fossils and Dinosaurs (revisited)

In groups of 4 – 5, pupils filled up a KWL chart.

While on the W column, they were curious and wondered about fossils and dinosaurs. They had numerous questions:

1) How do palaentologist get the dinosaur skeleton to stand up?
2) How long does it take scientists to find the dinosaur fossils?
3) What was the first dinosaur to live on earth?
4) Why did the dinosaurs become extinct?
5) How many types of dinosaurs were there long ago?
6) What is the weight of the largest dinosaur?
7) Why are dinosaurs named as such?
8) How do scientists know whether dinosaurs eat plants or meat? (we read about this in our Homework book)
9) How do dinosaurs sleep?

Some of the above questions were not answered in the textbook.

Were you able to find answers to some of your questions from other sources?

Here’s a website for you to get started.

Unit 3 - Fossils and Dinosaurs

Have you ever wondered how the dinosaurs lived and died millions of years ago?

Through the process of fossilisation, the history of dinosaurs was reconstructed. Click here for more information on fossilisation.

OEP

After being in an air-conditioned room for 4 weeks, it was time to hit the outdoors.

OEP stands for Outdoor Education Programme. Therefore, 4A pupils were eager to start a new activity. They were anticipating the new activity to be ‘skating’. Sad to say that skating may be for another time.

Nonetheless, they were thrilled to learn that they were going to pitch a tent! Despite the hot sun and itchy grass, they did not complain much.

They were engrossed by Mr Ali’s briefing.



The girls at work






The boys at work…




Tempers did not flare. No accidents occurred on the field. 4 nice tents stood erect on the field. And 4A pupils showed great team-spirit and teamwork.

Way to go!

Unit 2 - Diaries

In Unit 2, we talked about keeping diaries.

There was once a famous girl who died young but her legend lives on - that is through her diary entries. Yes, I'm talking about Anne Frank. Here is a website on Anne Frank.

Here's another cool and wacky diary for you to read: Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

So which one did you enjoy?
