At Howard Primary School we have adopted The Power of Reading scheme for literacy. We will focus our literacy work on a core text. The text we are working on is currently a secret and slowly we will reveal the title and the book to the children.

This week we will be looking at seaside/beach. What is it? How does it look like? What could you see and smell? What the creatures you could see? How do you feel?[/dropshadowbox]
