This week, we are going to be learning about animals found in Africa. 

 

Our literacy topic is all about non-chronological reports. 

 

Monday

This is our class fact file. Over the next 2 weeks we are going to creating our own African animal fact file.

I would like you to go read through the Panda fact file with an adult.
