    Monday 

    Remember for Monday's reading lessons we are all together and we use our class book as the text. 

    To be able to make and explain predictions and inferences.

    Today's reading lesson is going to be split into two parts, with a different text for each one. The first question is a prediction question and the second question is an inference. 

    Have a read of the first text for today and then the question is below.

    Question

    Remember to explain your answers using the text. 

    1) What shape do you predict Tom's snowman was? 

    2) What do you predict the snowman will become? 

    Have a look at the text below for the next part of the story.

    Question

    Remember to use the text to explain your answers.

    What can you infer about the type of person Gary is from his actions on this page?

    Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 

    During our lessons on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we are going to be using Poetry. As we have explored in class, poetry can come in lots of different forms! During our lessons we will be looking at poems and some songs, but remember... if we are using song you need to listen carefully to the lyrics because that is the poetry! 

    Tuesday 

    Today we are using the song This Is Me from The Greatest Showman for our poetry text. Have a listen to the song below and remember to listen and read the lyrics carefully ready for the lesson. The presentation and questions can be found on the document below the video.
