Wednesday 6th  January

L.O: To explore different books used at home and at school.

Go on a hunt around your house and find as many different types of book as possible or try and think of lots of different types of book. Talk to your grown up about them and answer these questions:-

1. What types of books are there at home and at school?
2. What uses do books have?  (e.g. a timetable, telephone directory, text books, photo albums etc.)
3. How do these books differ?
4. What books do you like and why?
5. What would a world without books be like?

Copy the date and l.o and then draw and label different kinds of book you have found or thought of. In the middle, draw a picture of your favourite book. Write some sentences to explain what your favourite book is about and why you like it.
