Amelia Earhart Message.mp4
Amelia Earhart sent our Year 1s a message to give them their very first challenge.
Our focus text is The Hundred Decker Bus by Mike Smith. In class we have sequenced the story and written simple sentences to retell the beginning, middle and end. You can continue to share and talk about the story at home by viewing the document below.
The story inspired the children to design and make their own hot air balloons like the ones at the end of the story. Come back soon to see the final result!
