This week we did an interesting fieldwork in Geography to understand how data help us to collect information about population growth.
In our English lessons we explored the use of direct speech and we discussed about journalistic language.
As we are getting prepared for our Big Write next week try to watch the News or read any newspaper or magazine you might find at home. Ask your parents to read with you an online newspaper and discuss with them about headings and subheadings.
A very good children’s magazine is the: THE WEEK JUNIOR
