This week in Literacy we will be continuing our work on Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole. I have been very impressed to see some excellent home learning on these two historical figures coming in to class over the past week. Please keep these coming, it is wonderful to see the learning links being drawn between what we are doing in the classroom and what the pupils are learning at home. In particular this week, we are seeking the children to pose and record questions and to find answers by reading. When reading we are encouraging the children to use contents pages and alphabetically ordered texts, for example dictionaries, encyclopedias, indexes, directories and registers. In reading the text we are seeking pupils to scan texts to find specific information; evaluate usefulness of text for its purpose. As pupils confidence with information texts develops we will be seeking pupils to write their own about Mary or Florence using reading as a model.
