Reading

This week we continued reading  The Way Back Home by Oliver Jeffers. We followed a boy who gets stuck on the moon and meets a friendly Martian who is also stranded. We thought about way the Martian and the boy could help fix the plane and spaceship. What tools they would need etc. 

Writing 

This week for our writing inspiration we have been reading Elf Chase and have started to think about Christmas and the things we might like on our Christmas Lists. We then started to think about a Christmas List for.Ted. We designed the picture for the front of our book 'A Christmas List for Ted'.
