As packs will not be available until Wednesday, write your answers on a piece of paper if you do not have access to a printer.

How quickly can you skim and scan the text for the answers?

When you find the answer in the text, write it in a full sentence eg:

What is Jamie's full name?

Jamie's full name is Jamie Drake.

Activity 2

Jamie's dad is working on the International Space Station.

Research:

What is the International Space Station?

Find out three facts about it and jot them down.

Use the following website to help your research:

When we come across new words or information in a book, it is important to research it. This will give us a greater understanding of the book and will make the story more enjoyable!
