• Fire safety book - for their inquiry monster to use over the holidays.
• Learning agreement reflection - with attention to their writing goals and sentence structure workshop
• Recount of fire brigade visit.

Reading

• Strategies for reading: Using illustration, following the repetition, getting your knowledge ready, using the initial sound and making predictions.
• Guided reading: Small group reading with teacher.
• Word Hunt: searching for words with the same letter patterns in books eg- 'th' 'sh' 'ch'

Inquiry:

• Determining project groups with a particular focus for their inquiry group. Working collaboratively with their group to create what the monster requires of the holidays.
