We joined Redwood Class this morning who were busy reading a fantastic book entitled “Leon and the place between” by Angela McAllister.

Learning Objective:

The children were tasked with reading and understanding the book and to use questions and statements to record a conversation. To understand the use of questions in speech. Using a question mark when asking a question and using a range of sentence types to record a conversation.

About the book:

Leon and his brothers and sister go to a magic show, but this is no ordinary show and Abdul Kazam is no ordinary magician.
