Through these topics, students will learn to distinguish between fact and opinion, helping them to think critically about the information they read and share.

Week 3 - Let’s celebrate our Mums! Please bring a photo of your Mum, or draw a picture of her. Tell us about her and why she is special.
Week 4 - What is your favourite animal? Draw a picture and tell us why it is your favourite. Add two interesting facts about it that your classmates might not know.
Week 5 - Share your favourite recipe. Why is it your favourite? What ingredients does it use? Is it difficult or easy to make?
Week 6 - Can you speak more than one language? Share something you can say in another language! OR Learn how to say ‘hello’ in a different language. Let us know which language you have learnt, and share that new greeting with us all!
