This week in Literacy

This week in Literacy we will begin our sequels to Valiant. Miss Wood’s group have called theirs Valiant 2 – Falcon’s Revenge! Miss Cranmer’s group will be calling theirs ‘Valiant vs. Falcon’. We will continue to plan these on our story mountain. Have a think about what you would like to include.

Literacy

We will be using these video clips as we continue our Visual Literacy work on Valiant.
