The children have really enjoyed starting this and have worked on hard on various reading focussed tasks throughout the week. On Thursday, we started to plan a setting description for the Rainforest in which the characters find themselves stranded. We looked at different sentence types and thought about how we could use these in a setting description, which we will write in the coming days.
