Writer’s Workshop: We are starting the term with a writing craft study – exploring how authors and illustrators make choices about the style, design and detail included in their books. This is linked with Book Week – A symphony of stories. We are hoping to publish these in time for Book Week in Week 6.
Mathematics: We will continue to work with calendars and learn about how they work this week.
