Hi Rowan Class,  I have decided to be brave and start doing daily shared reading with you (I'm sure my camera skills will improve over time!).  Before we left school we were really enjoying learning about the character Bradley and the new boy in school, Jeff.  If you took a copy home then you can use this to read along with me, if you don't have a copy at home then I have filmed the book for you to read along with me.  Don't forget to bring your characters alive with expression and look out for Bradley's favourite quote in this chapter.  Please feel free to send me footage of your reading as well 😃 Click on the link below for chapter 9.                     BIGB - Chapter 9 Take care,  Miss Robertshaw

English Recap on the story of Tuesday by clicking on this link.   Tuesday by David Wiesner Using the image below, what would the frogs be saying to one another? U sing the rules of inverted commas (speech marks) that we have looked at in class, can you correctly punctuate my report below? Try to show: speech marks, capital letters, punctuation inside the speech marks, commas, synonyms and phrases for the word ‘said’. Harltown Report The townspeople of Harltown are still struggling to make sense of the extraordinary events of Tuesday evening, when, it would seem, they were witness to a rare and troubling phenomenon. I spoke with the man at the centre of the events, Mr. Cunningham, whose late-night snack time was neither peaceful nor normal.  I asked him to tell me what he had seen. "Well, like I told the others, I was just sitting at

Maths How would you find the solution to this problem?  You could make the squares from pieces of paper and colour them in if you need to build the puzzle.  English One of my favourite books is 'Tuesday' by David Wiesner.  It's a picture book, therefore it doesn't have any words.  You can follow this link to see the book....  Tuesday by David Wiesner Above is an image from the book.   Can you consider the following questions? Use modal verbs to answer the questions (may, might, would, shall, will, can, could, must, should, ought)  What different things might Rusty (the dog) go and do next?  What might the frogs do next?  What will the Rusty’s owner notice in the morning?  What action will they take?  How could this have turned out differently?  What advice would you give to Rusty and his owner?
