Hello everyone!
It has been another busy week of learning in P4W.
We have been developing skills across the curriculum.
Literacy
We are developing our reading skills and have a ‘home’ reading book to share. This should be brought back into school, ready for the reading team’s next meeting.
We are becoming Reading Detectives as we continue to read our class novel ‘Ottoline and the Yellow Cat’. We are looking for clues in the text, making connections as we read and deciding which information is important and what might be misleading.
We are finding information about the characters and asking questions.

Developing our writing skills, using adjectives to describe nouns.

Spelling
