If you had a doggy day care what activities would you have for the dogs to do so that they would love the day care as much as Riley did? 

Olympic History

Read the article about the History of the Olympics then make a comment about something new you have learnt from this article. Make sure to check out what others have commented on as well. Always leave your first name only so we know who left the comment.

Making inferences

We are learning to make inferences in Reading. When we make inferences we use the clues in the picture or the text and our prior knowledge (what we already know about a topic) to say what we think may have happened. 

Click on the padlet and make some inferences about what you think happened here. Remember to say why you think this as well.
