Good morning Lawley!

I hope you are all well. Here are our home learning activities for today.

Reading and phonics

Please complete your daily reading then take part in the Read Write Inc Set 3 Phonics Session. Following this I would like you to play Dragons Den on Phonics Play, revising all phase 4 sounds.

English Home Learning

I would like you to start today by watching The Lighthouse video again, make sure you watch closely and really imagine you are there with the Lighthouse Keeper.

Today you are going to be the Lighthouse Keeper and are going to write to a friend to tell them about what is happening. You can write about how you feel, what you see, the way the townspeople helped you, what you would like to do. Remember in our writing we include:
