Reading - We will be taking several weeks to delve into 'Stig of the dump' by Clive King. This fiction book is a "Lovely story about the unlikely friendship between Barney and stone-age Stig has stood the test of time . . . contemporary children will love reading about the pair's lively adventures".
Here is a little extract:
The Thing sitting in the corner seemed to be interested. It got up and moved towards Barney, into the light. Barney was glad to see it was Somebody after all. Funny way to dress though, he thought, rabbit-skins round the middle and no shoes or socks.
We will use this text to help become confident, fluent readers as well as create several pieces of written work to show off our knowledge
