Today, you are going to read/watch a little bit more of our story. Can you listen up to 2.15? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkI_i1hxAkI

Talking task What has the duck found?The duck has found…

Task OneThe other birds in the story aren’t being very kind to duck now he has found a new egg. I want us to give duck a letter to cheer him up and offer him some advice.

In this letter, I would like you to use at least one contraction. Remember, a contraction is where words have been shortened by joining them together, and a letter has been removed e.g.

I am = I’mThe letter ‘a’ has been replaced with an ‘ (apostrophe)

This is the letter I have written duck:

Dear duck,I’m so sorry that the other birds are being unkind. You shouldn’t listen to them as your egg is the most beautiful egg I’ve ever seen!From,Miss Reed

In your letter, make sure you include: Capital letters and full stops Finger spaces Contractions
