Reading
Read for 30 minutes. This could be from a book you are already reading or you could read a selection of picture story books. If you remember your Bug Club login you could read from there.

Writing
You may have the Identity Interview sheet Deanne handed out on Friday, otherwise you can print the document attached here or copy the questions onto a piece of paper. Then choose someone to interview – it can be someone at home or you could email or phone somebody. Ask them the questions and write down their answers. Alternatively, you can interview yourself by writing your own answers to the questions. Make sure to bring this work in when we’re back at school so you can show Deanne!
