Good morning! Here is the next instalment of home learning tasks. You will find the next section of Singapore Maths in one word document, this is a chapter on volume. Literacy and Guided Reading will be slightly combined as we aim to tailor these to the book 'Skellig' by David Almond. A task will be uploaded each day with a chapter or two read to you from the book in a YouTube video which will be added below as soon as I have read the chapter. The first two tasks can be started without listening to the chapter as the first chapter is included in task 1 and you may read it to yourself if you wish.
