This week we are focusing on World Book Day!
I put up a post about this on Friday and talked about it at our Friday Teams Meet. There are different activities on that post for you to choose from.
This week your literacy tasks include, watch and listening to a video, a reading task, a comprehension task and a creative writing task. There is also a choice of inspiration tasks – you choose the one you want. The only difference is you get to choose the theme. There are three to choose from. Don’t do any work on the Queen’s Nose this week. I have posted some spelling revision and consolidation tasks in Teams.
