English

This week we are continuing with our egg adventures by reading the story 'The Egg' by M P Robertson. The children will be sequencing the story and designing their own 'Dragon Land'. We will be encouraging the children to re-read the story and look for adjectives that they can use to help them write a description for their Dragon Land setting. 

There are also some brilliant daily Year 1 / 2 phonic video lessons available on Letters and Sounds for Home and School - YouTube Feel free to ask which would be the most suitable videos for your child to watch.
