English

This term's English is based upon Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers. 

Once there was a boy and one day he found a penguin at his door.... he didn't know where it came from or who it belonged to.  The penguin looked sad and the boy thought it must be lost.  So he decided to help it find its way home, even if that meant rowing all the way to the South Pole. 

We will be writing character descriptions, diary entries and creating lost and found posters.   We will be developing our reading skills through simple research and note taking, creating penguin fact files and penguin poetry.
