This week for Reading we are learning to infer. Inferring is when the author doesn't tell you something but leaves clues. We had to infer what type of character Perseus was and then give evidence from the story. I found it hard because I had no idea what to write. It helped when I got together with my group and my teacher and we discussed it. We helped each other a character description.
For Reading I was learning to analyse and synthesise. This means I had to read articles and watch some videos and then use the parts I needed to make a video.

I enjoyed signing my name because I learnt it off by heart. I am very proud of myself. I even showed my mum and dad last night without forgetting what to do.
Have you ever tried doing sign language?

We were learning to make connections between texts for Reading. We had to solve a crime scene after we had done some experiments. The experiments were looking at handwriting, fingerprints, fibres and powders. Then we read about the suspects and worked our who stole the laptop.
I enjoyed figuring out what the powder was. I t was either washing powder or citric acid. It wasn't citric acid because when I touch it my fingers do all tingly and they didn't tingle when I touched it.
I found it tricky to solce the fingerprints because we had to match them up.
