Next half term the children will create their own short stories inspired by our core text, ‘1001 Arabian Nights’. During the half term your child should read a story (suitable to their reading level) and have them rewrite it in their own words.
I hope you have a wonderful half term and I look forward to seeing you all very soon.
Thank you,
Ms. Haigh
