This half-term our Literacy work is based around Wallace and Gromit's Cracking Contraptions.

We have been busy writing a variety of explanations over the last two weeks.
We watched the clip of 'The Tellyscope' then captured still images and used them to create an illustrated explanation of how the device worked.
We read the book 'Until I met Dudley' by Roger McGough and wrote both sensible and crazy explanations.
