We read a scene from Chapter 32 where Bradley is surrounded by the other boys. We practised and performed this scene in groups using the text to see what the characters say and do. #literacy #classnovel #drama #perform #dialogue #reading

We launched our new topic β€˜Africa’ yesterday. While the music was on we had to search for jigsaw 🧩 pieces to complete each image and then link these images together to guess the theme! #IDL #topic #Africa #launch #MTV #think #puzzle #explore #bigquestions #littlequestions

We used the scene from yesterday to create a storyboard detailing the main events. We used pictures, speech, description and phrases from the text, as well as the thoughts of characters! #classnovel #literacy #reading #mainidea #summarising #understanding #comprehension
