Well done for completing another week!
In English, we have started planning our informal letter to dad as Lil from The secrets of a sun king. The children will start writing their first draft, editing and final draft next week using all the skills they have learnt.
In shared reading, they have summarised key events across the chapter, retrieved answers from across a chapter and made reasonable predictions.
