It would also be useful for you to read your newspaper report out loud, to check that your report flows and makes sense. Remember newspaper reports should be interesting, detailed and follow the order that the story happens (chronological order).

Once you have finished your written report, please go onto purple mash to type up your newspaper report too.

Good Morning Stiperstones. I hope you have had a nice weekend and enjoyed all the learning we completed last week. The work you have all been completing has been amazing so please continue to keep up your high standards. We have another very exciting week of new learning to come this week.

We will also now be exploring a new book in our English lessons and have got a new learning area in maths also. For the next two weeks, we will be studying the Roahl Dahl book ‘The BFG’ and learning how to work out the perimeter and area of a shape in maths.

All of today’s learning is posted below. I hope you all have a brilliant week.

English lesson one:

During today’s English lesson, we will begin exploring areas of our new book, the BFG, written by Roahl Dahl. In today’s lesson, you will be exploring the character ‘the BFG’ and identifying his characteristics and personality.
