Reading 

For your reading task today we would like you to read the text below, 'Devon and the Alux.'  Please think about how we would do this in class. 

Begin by thinking about the title of the text. 

• What do you think this text might be about? 
• Do you think it is more likely to be a fiction or non fiction text? Why?

Read the text though to yourself.  Then read the text a second time and highlight any words you are unsure about.  Use the internet, a dictionary or ask a member of your family to find out what the words mean.  Re-read the text for a final time now you know the meaning of all the words.  We will be answering some questions on this text on Wednesday so for now that is all you need to do for your reading.

Spellings

As we didn't give you any spellings to learn over the holiday there will be no spelling test today.  Below are your spellings for this week.  Remember to practise these ready for your test next Monday.
