Our words of the week are 'landmark' and 'abstract'.

 

Reminders:

5 reads for the week must be recorded by the Friday of that week and in school on the Friday in order to be marked on the chart.

 

Homework

Homework can be found on google classroom. We will no longer be sticking the homework sheet in books, unless other arrangements have been made. It is great to see how many of you are already using it!
