Bonjour mes amis et quelle est la date aujourd’hui?
Exciting news! Later today, 2 astronauts are being sent to space to join the International space Station. Here is a link so that you can watch preparations this afternoon and watch the launch tonight. It will be a great event to watch.

Literacy
- Spelling starter – building on yesterday’s activity, put all of the key words in alphabetical order.
- Today’s focus is the use of the contents and index pages. This comprehension builds on last Wednesday’s skill of looking for information using these non-fiction text features.
Write the date and I can demonstrate how to use a contents page and index.
Write the answers clearly in your jotter making sure that you write “quanswers” with enough supporting detail.
Handy hints
Make sure that you know what each sport is about. Here’s a link to an online dictionary to help you explore the sports and find the definitions in Question 5 https://www.collinsdictionary.com/
3. Traffic light and assess your skills using a contents page and index. Try explaining how to use them to an adult.
