Winter is here!

It’s  wintertime!  At school we´re learning about clothes we wear in winter, winter weather,  fruits, festivals,  colours etc.

 


* Let´s play a game with a Winter name generator. What´s your winter inspired name?

Find the first initial of your first name in the list . That word is your winter first name. Then look at the list of the months below and find the month of your birthday. That word is your winter last name. For example, my name begins with a C and my birthday is in September, so my new winter name would be Gingerbread Boots.

* You always  have fun writing  acrostics. Now it´s the time to write our own winter acrostics. My favorite form of poetry is ACROSTIC POETRY. It is easy and a good critical thinking skill to get you to brainstorm lists of W words having to do with winter.

Click here and  learn how to create your own winter acrostic.

Here is a site that creates acrostic poems that you can print off when they are completed.

Malala: From a schoolgirl to a Nobel Peace Prize winner

Hi guys,

To celebrate The School Day of Peace I want to  talk about people who have made a difference to the world in a positive way.

Imagine you are an eleven-year-old girl, and the people in control say you may not go to school. What would you do? Would you speak out against your treatment? Would you risk your life for an education? Malala Yousafzai did all of these things.

 * Read the story of her incredible bravery and her work to support every child’s right to an education. Malala became the youngest person to be awarded Nobel Peace Prize for her work on children´s rights.

* Watch this video

* Malala Yousafzai at the UN: Watch  Malala explaining   how books and pens can change the world.
