T2 Reading


In Term 2 we began with group reading then Mrs Small thought we could do lots of reading around the theme of Reptiles. We read lots of stories and used key words to pick out the important facts of what we read.

1. The characteristics of the reptile.
2. The habitat.
3. How they looked after their young.
