Writing - We have continued with Beegu by Alexis Deacon. We began the week trying to decipher the aliens' language, and made a Beegu dictionary. We then tried to imagine what sights and sounds Beegu would have experienced being in an unfamiliar city and recorded these in sentences using ing words . At the end of the week we decided that as Beegu was lonely he needed some new friends! We painted our own aliens and wrote a description of them. We then wrote a profile of our alien, including information on what they eat, how they move and what they like to do.
