Good morning! It was lovely talking to lots of your parents yesterday. Glad to hear everyone is well. Again, thank you to all those who have emailed their learning. I am really enjoying looking at what you have been sending me. It is really important that you keep practising the skills we have learnt.
Literacy
This week you have read a story all about Gerald the giraffe. But how much do you know about giraffes? Today I would like you to do some research about giraffes. What do they look like? Where do they live? What do they eat? What interesting facts can you find out about them? I have put some links to websites to help you find out this information. Can you write a fact file? Don’t forget your information has to match the heading.
