Independent / Shared Reading:

Introduction: Today we are learning to summarise a text. A summary is a shortened version of a text that includes the key information written in your own words.
Today we begin by reading a familiar story with a narrative structure. As you watch the video above, you will see Mrs. Holmes taking notes as she reads LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD to help summarise the text.
It can be really hard to decide which information to include in your summary. Remember a summary only includes the Key Information.
Activity -
Your task today is to listen to the story, The Gruffalo’s Child, by Julia Donaldson.
Whilst listening you can take notes of the Key Information in the story.
Once the story has finished use the Summarising Template to help you narrow down the Key Information. Your task is to write a summary of the story in 4 sentences!!
Write this in your Literacy book with the title Summarising and today’s date.

This week we are exploring SHADOWS as a part of our Inquiry unit. Today we are going to be planting a seed in our Writer’s Notebook using a See / Think / Feel / Wonder chart.
Using the picture prompts begin to write about what you see, what you think when you look at the pictures of shadows, how the pictures make you feel and any questions you begin to wonder about.
We will have an opportunity to use this template later in the week when we work on our writing stamina.
