Your spellings are under the Spelling tab and a quiz has been set as a ‘2do’ on Purple Mash.
Now look at this image:
How many adjectives (describing words) can you think of to describe the penguin? Can you put these into a sentence?
Now look at this illustration from our current book ‘What We’ll Build’ by Oliver Jeffers (you may like to listen to the story again, the link is further down the page)

What does it mean to build a future?
Who do you think is helping to build a future?

What about the pink and the purple?
Today, you are going to draw your own illustration like this, to include the things that are important to you.
Finally, I would like you to create a story board for Noah and the Ark. You will need to think carefully about what happened in this story and sequence the events. It is a bit like a comic strip! You may want to listen to the story again, here is Miss Younger reading the story:
