Hello Kandinksy – this week I thought that it would be nice to have a week of work learning all about penguins. I caught the end of a David Attenborough documentary all about penguins and it reminded me how much I love them and also how funny they can be!
I hope that you enjoy your learning this week.

Reading:
Please continue to listen to your child read their school reading book or any other books that you may have at home. You can also use the Oxford Owl website to find books to read in the Free eBook Library section.

This weeks project - Penguins!
Begin by reading the e-book 'The Runaway Iceberg'

Here's a link to the homepage where you can choose the episodes you'd like to watch:
Reading Comprehension:
Ask your child to read the extract of text and answer the questions on their own. Then ask them to read the text out loud and discuss the answers that they have given. Encourage them to go back to the text to find and copy the answers where possible rather than guessing or using memory.
Here are a couple for you to try:
