In English, we will be completing three writing projects based around or model text, Holes. We will be writing a non-fiction, inspired by David Attenborough's voice, to inform our audience about Yellow Spotted Lizards. We will be writing an advert-style text to persuade people to visit Camp Green lake, and we will be retelling a story from a short clip we will watch as a class.
In reading, we will be using 'Holes' as our whole class text and practicing our reading comprehension skills using unseen texts.
