Wednesday 1st July 2020

LO: To retell a story from a different point of view.

Retell the story imagining you are the bear. Tell the reader what he is thinking and feeling throughout the story. Does he know he shouldn’t be cutting down the trees?  Why does he want to make the paper aeroplanes? It can be in first person or third person. Remember to use interesting adjectives, time connectives and full sentences with capital letters and full stops.

Choose your favourite sentence and write it in the comments for me to read.

P.T.O. Please turn over for page 3!

Reading - Read the "Water Woman: A Superhero" comprehension and make sure you understand all the vocabulary. Use a dictionary, ask someone at home or ask me in the blog comments if you don't understand something.

Spelling - Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check – Wednesday and write the dictionary definitions for last 5 words in the back of your Literacy books.

P.T.O. Please turn over for page 4!
