Reading Comprehension
This week, you have a text all about Captain Tom Moore. There are 3 ability levels to choose from.
Writing - continued from last week
WANTED! Explorer to go on a Desert Adventure
Have any of you started on your posters yet? I'm sure that you have! If you've already made yours, maybe you could edit and improve your first version or maybe you could use Publisher to create a typed version.
Remember to think about:
- What type of person your explorer partner would be?
- What kind of skills would they need?
- What things would they be interested in?
You will need to include:
- a title (Wanted! Desert Explorer for Adventures in Gobi!)
- a picture of the Gobi Desert
- a description of what kind of partner you want to go with you
- details of some of the activities you will do there
- warnings about some of the dangers
- how to contact you (but use a fake Explorer name and contact number like: Contact Explorer HerKel Tel: 0000-1234)

Contractions - revision
Contractions are quite tricky so I thought that we would revise them this week. Can you choose a contracted form and say a silly sentence containing that contraction?
