✍🏻 English: We worked on report writing this week, looking at the features of a good report and we then researched and wrote reports on our favourite animals. These reports were presented on Google Docs and Slides.
We also explored 2 excerpts from novels & voted on the one that seemed most interesting to us. We will begin reading this novel next week.
