If so I suggest reading J.K Rowling’s newest instalment ‘The Ickabog’. It is aimed at children from the ages 7 -9 but can also be read to any age or ability. I am a massive Harry Potter fan so will be reading this myself. JK Rowling is releasing this book for free online for all children to read during this pandemic. She will add chapters each day until July.Here is the link to the book. Handwriting book – continue Poetry writing: SummerThis week I would like you to write and acrostic poem about Summer.

The topic word is written vertically, and each line of the?poem?starts with the letters of the topic word.Oral I have attached some ‘name 5 things cards’. These cards identify an object with a specific characteristic and you have to come up with 5 other things with the same characteristic.Spellings GrammarWeekly spellings and spelling activity in Spell well.
