One group complete "The Chalk Box Kid" by Clyde Robert Bulla and will be assigned to a new guided reading book next week. The learners also worked on writing sentences using their spelling words and writing stories that highlighted their spelling words in their story. This is to enhance the written vocabulary that the learners are using within their writing. As part of their PSPE theme this week (Teamwork) the learners worked together to solve various riddles. For next week the learners will be working on writing reflections based on current events and building their skills in use of conjunctions.
