This week is our last week of home learning (hopefully). We will continue to focus on adverts and then there are some activities for World Book Day!

Monday

In this lesson, we will think about the snacks we eat and why we like them. We will look at an advert advertising an unhealthy snack, then think about healthy alternatives. Then, we will think of our own healthy snack and write a persuasive sentence about the snack we have designed.
