June- Mystery stories. We have been looking at a story called the Manor House, it is quite a spooky mystery story. We thought closely about the main character Lara, and what the mystery of the Manor House is. We completed role play to add speech to the story. Then we have innovated the plot and created our versions of the story.

We can pick a book from the reading corner, we also discuss what we have read with our peers thinking about characters, the main events or what we think might happen next. We can learn lots from reading and should be reading at home each day. We can learn new vocabulary, develop our imagination and expand our creative writing skills.
