Blog difficulties

Dear Big Ben class,

I have been having technical problems accessing the blog this week and I couldn't add your homework on Friday. Luckily, I have worked out how to fix the problem and the blog has now been updated!

Literacy Homework 7th February 2014

This week we have been continuing our topic on adventure stories in Year 3. We love adventure stories in Big Ben class!

Which adventure stories are your favourite?

When writing your comment, try and answer these three questions:
1) What is the name of the adventure story and who wrote it?
2) Can you describe what happens in the story briefly?
3) Can you explain why it is one of your favourite stories? What does it have that makes it a great adventure story?
