Good morning Year 2. I hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed all the exciting things you had planned. I hope you are all looking forward to the week. I just hope the nice weather returns - I've had to put the heating back on!
Apologies for forgetting to add Friday's attachment comparing the books. I put it on at lunchtime when I realised. I hope you were able to improvise! Did you find my similarities and differences? We did in the key worker group and had lots of ideas such as both characters go on a journey, both end up home, both have to navigate their way across part of the world, both appear in the news. We also thought some of the language and the illustrations were quite similar.
Have a good week.
Love
Mrs Morrison
