G.P.S

We have been using the natural curriculum website to help you develop your knowledge of Y6 grammar and you are demonstrating you know how to use it when completing the whiteboard tasks. By the end of this week, you will be writing a piece of writing trying to incorporate as many aspects that you have learnt about. 

Today, I would like you to follow the link below to access work on how to use modal verbs. You will also be learning about the Asian elephant. Remember to watch the video before completing the tabs marked the grammar bit and whiteboard challenges. If you would like to challenge yourself further you can continue with the writing ideas. I am looking forward to seeing the work that you produce.
