I loved this poem by Dorothy Harrer:
The Four Sentences by Dorothy Harrer
Commands
Listen to the night wind blow.
See the swirling flakes of snow.
Close the window. Shut the door.
Keep out the wild wind’s angry roar.
Light the fire. Let it blaze.
Exclamations
How wonderful the morning is!
Oh, what a sparkling day!
Sky’s blue around the golden sun!
The wind has died away!
Statements
The golden sun shines on the snow.
The trees blue shadows make.
The colours of God’s own rainbow.
Twinkle in each snowflake.
Questions
Where do snowflakes come from?
Why are they so white?
Who gives them each a separate form?
How far has been their flight?
And what creates the rainbow
In which each star of snow?
We've also been working on the number 11 (using the Earth School Grade 2 Maths Block and augmenting it with our own ideas too). Springy has enjoyed being able to work out the multiples of 11 from double digit numbers and doing it as a trick.
E.g. 22 x 11 = 2_2
2+2 = 4 (put the four in the space)
22 x 11 = 242
We wrote out some sentences about 11 e.g. The Chancellor of the Exchequer lives at No 11 Downing Street and The Mariana Trench is 11km at its deepest point in the ocean and Aquarius is the eleventh sign of the Zodiac.
