1B - English

Lesson: English

We have started a new book to focus on in English called Hermelin. 

Before we read the book, we had to respond to part of the text in the book. We focused on the illustration of Offley Street (pages 1 & 2). 

The children had to think about and answer these questions with their partner. They the had to write down their ideas around their sheet.

• Would you like to live here? Why? 
• What can you see happening in the illustration? 
• Does this look like a happy street to live on?  
• Can you spot anything unusual?  
• Do you think the suitcase might belong to anyone who lives on this street? 

Miss Byatt then had to act the role as the main character, Hermelin (without revealing who she was) in the story. The children had to come up with questions to find out more about the character.
