Writing 
Please note that we have started on choosing strong ideas for our writing. 
Rule: choosing a strong idea – a strong idea is specific. That means it is clear cut and exact. Imagine that you will write a story. Which of these ideas is more specific?
1. Autumn 
2. Playing in plies of crunchy, colourful leaves. 
(idea 2 because  it tells about a specific happening in autumn)

Reading

Please encourage your child to read everyday for at least 20 - 30 min.
