What an amazing year we have had in our class. We have had lots of new experiences in our classroom, seen new things, discussed lots of issues and ideas, found out about things we didn’t know before and grown together as a class. Congratulations on all your hard work, our Picnic Day was great!

What were the best 3 things about the day?

Reading about the BFG gave us an idea. We should make our own jar with a dream inside.

But how do you make a dream?

First you think of something magical…
Then you add a little bit of fun…
And maybe a sprinkle of crazy and impossible…

What great dream ideas did you have?
Which objects did you choose to show your dream?
How did you organise your jar?
Did you write your dream down?
can you give a summary about your made up dream?

Here is a great Space website. Look at the information. Watch the videos. Find some new facts. Write them in your Space booklet.
Remember only use words and sentences that you understand.

We have been practising our writing and how to make characters talk to each other. When 2 characters talk their words need to have speech marks. Speech marks tell us when someone is talking. Look at this sentence.
“Watch out!” yelled the lifeguard “I can see a shark fin!”
Can you see the speech marks?

In a comic we use speech bubbles to show when people are talking.
Here is the comic website so you can make your own comic:
