I love the way Kyran has captured

his golden curls and highlighted the

importance of food in Cornucopia.

Remember, if you want your artwork to

be considered for the actual book, make

sure it is plain paper, 2.2cm shorter than

A4 and draw it portrait rather than

landscape.

• Today we are going to continue looking at paragraphs.

• What can you remember about paragraphs?

• When do we use them?

Today we are going to be reading a text where no paragraphs have been used. It is your job to work out where a new paragraph is needed. Remember a new paragraph is needed when:

the topic changes . A change in time.

A change in place.A new person is introduced.

Read the following text. Can you work out how many paragraphs it should be split into?

The answer is …. three.

Paragraph 1 is an introduction.

Paragraph 2 is about where they

live.

Paragraph 3 is about what they

eat.

Now it's your turn. Read the following text.

Now work out where the new

paragraphs should begin.

When there is a change of topic there should be

a new paragraph.

your teacher telling them how you are and what you have

been up to.

our letter.

Planning is an important process as it makes sure all our ideas are down on paper.

• Paragraph 3 (Final few sentences): How have you enjoyed your home learning experience so far? What are you missing or looking forward to? What would you like to ask your teacher?
