Congratulations to last week's KS2 winning sentence written by Niah! Look out for your prize in the post :)

I hope you enjoyed last week's word of the week video and have been trying your hardest to use last week's word in lots of different ways to impress those around you with your growing vocabulary. 

We have loved reading your sentences; it really has been the highlight of our week! We hope to see even more of you getting involved this week. I think KS2 managed more sentences on their blogs than KS1 this week! Well done! Can you do the same again this week?

This week is an audio clip for you to listen to (at the bottom of this blog). This audio clip works best on a laptop or desktop computer. If you have difficulties opening on an iPad, please try a laptop or desktop if possible. Once you have taken part in the clip, see your challenges below. 

Here are the resources you will need to see whilst listening to the audio:
