Good morning everyone! Well done for making it to the end of another week of home learning! We are so impressed with all of the hard work that you put in every day. Have a fantastic weekend everyone!
Star of the Day – Connor
Connor, you continue to work extremely hard and we are so proud of you! Keep up all of your hard work!
Morning Activity

Reading
Today, you will be reading an extract from ‘The Tale of Angelino Brown’. Click here to open the text.
Think about the different feelings and emotions the characters feel during the extract. Click here to complete an ‘emotion graph’ to show how the characters feelings change throughout the chapter.
Afterwards, we would like you to think about this quote from the story:
“Bert strides down the path in the sunshine. He turns back at the gate – and just look at him. There’s a big grin on Bert’s face. Angelino is waving, all by himself.”
If Angelino could talk, what do you think he would say to Bert in this moment? What would he be thinking? Think about what you have read so far and write a paragraph as if you were Angelino.
