Morning Year 6
I hope you all had a restful half term holiday.
This week we will be doing some reading lessons based on a fabulous book called The Firework Maker's Daughter.
In the first lesson, we are going to
engage with a new text and practise strategies for understanding unfamiliar vocabulary.
In the second lesson, we are going to
answer questions on the text, orally and in written form.
In the third lesson, we are going to answer
inference questions to analyse a character.
In the fourth lesson, we are going
to explore one of the main themes of the book.
In the final lesson this week, we are going to be
exploring the genre.
The answers to the reading tasks are given in the videos so you do not need to send in photos of your reading work.
Below you will find the text that we will be focusing on in the Zoom reading calls this week.
Make sure you have read the text thoroughly BEFORE the call so you are ready to discuss it further.
