It's a brand new learning week and one week until half term! Our new icon is a clue to the new story we are using for our learning this week. Make sure you watch the story!

Writing: Last week we focussed on adjectives and expanded noun phrases. Today we are going to use them in a different context.

• Watch the video of Miss Potter reading ‘Spacedog’ - you might need to watch this video a couple of times because it is an unfamiliar story.
• Create your own planet!

I really enjoyed seeing your pictures and recreations of the front cover of ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ last week. Can you recreate the front cover for Spacedog? OR get your own Spacedog, Astrocat or Moustronaut to read the story themselves! Take a look at Miss Potter’s cat enjoying the story...
