I Like
We all like the very simple book called I Like. Even though we are way beyond this level, we wanted to make our own books.

Bathing Animals
We read Paru has a Bath by Fran Hunia. We thought about how to bathe different animals We talked about animal cruelty and how we would never bathe a cat.

We read The Bird That Could Think by Annette Smith. We also watched a video about a crow cracking nuts. We thought about how we would crack one hundred nuts and worked on the language point, ‘If I had ______ I would’. Here are our stories.

We wrote stories about our weekends using the five Ws and and H. The first story was not about the weekend, but was well constructed so included.

The game site being talked about at the end can be found here.
