When have you been reluctant?

What does the phrase 'contented mood' infer?

Reading

In your packs of work you will find the reading activity called PIONEER CHILDREN.

Read it through carefully and then answer the comprehension questions. Some of the questions are quite difficult so you might want to discuss your answers with a grown up or older brother or sister.

This kind of text is sometimes classified as  HISTORICAL INFORMATION.

Below is an old print of some immigrants on a ship at sea.

I wonder where they were traveling to?

I wonder if they were scared or excited about where they were traveling to? Or both?

I wonder if they wanted to leave Britain or if they were forced to leave?

I wonder what the man in the middle of the picture is pointing at?

The Three Nanny Goats Gruff

In the booklet, today's reading is all about the Three Nanny Goats Gruff. 

the story is set out like a playscript. 

Notice how with a playscript the name of the character speaking is written at the side, and we do not use speech marks for dialogue. Read through the story either on your own of with someone in your bubble and have a go at the linked questions.

Any questions please ask them on google classroom. 

Good luck
