Y3 English WB 15th June

Date: 12th Jun 2020 @ 11:57am

Hi Year 3,

This week you will be listening to a story that didn’t want to be told. Later in the week, you will have the opportunity to write your own story showing you can punctuate direct speech correctly. Don’t forget the conjunctions in your writing (you learnt about these in previous weeks). Who can write the most descriptive and adventurous story? We would love to read them. You may email any work you are proud of to your teacher.
