Wednesday
To be able to identify and use question marks.
Somebody has deleted all the question marks from these sentences. Can you help by telling your teacher where they are needed?
What are we having for lunch
Is it home time
When are we going to play
Do you know the time please
Please can I go to the toilet
To say, and hold in memory when writing, simple sentences that make sense.
It is the right of every child to have access to reliable information.
We have to use our research skills to tell important, true facts.
Your teacher will pause the video after each fact so you can discuss it with your partner.
Watch- Animal Facts - Mouse on Youtube.
Share your fact with the rest of the class and your teacher will model how to write it in a sentence.
It's your turn to write your favourite fact in your book. Remember to use a capital letter and full stop.
To be able to make addition stories using correct vocabulary.
Now it's your turn to complete pages 39-42
