Predicting when you are reading!

A strategy that we use when we are reading, is to look at the front cover and think about what the book will be about. Sometimes we are right and sometimes we are wrong.  That doesn't matter because we have started to think about the story and we want to keep reading until the end. 

Sophie knows about goats and she looked at the front cover. We thought it might be about a mean little goat but it wasn't!

Sophie worked on the iPad to show her learning.                                         

 

Birds

Last week we read a shared book about birds.  The book was non fiction which means the book was true. Some of the birds looked like this. They had been drawn.

Some of the pictures were photos, like this one.

We tried to draw our own pictures of birds.

We liked a video of a dancing bird in the book. 
But is that true? 
Do birds dance?        Well, yes they do!
