3,4 Class News – Reading

Friday 31 January 2025

This week, we have been reading the picture book, ‘Escape from Pompeii’ by Christina Balit. Our skills focus has been inference –  exploring character feeling. Through a hot-seating activity the children were able to take on the role of the characters in the story and answer questions asked by other children.

Help at home by trying this idea. Which questions could you ask to explore how a character is feeling or why they are acting in a certain way?
