To activate our lesson we looked at a variety of photos and thought about what we knew from looking at the pictures. We thought about who the pictures were, what the people are doing and how they are feeling. We tried to give reasons for our ideas and thought about how they relate to the story we have just read. We then looked at our text for the lesson, recapping fiction and non fiction and how this text was different to the story. We used a partner read, a read around the robin and an independent read. We unpicked the language as we read, text marking unfamiliar language. Our reasons to read allowed us to demonstrate our understanding of the text where we texting marked as we skimmed and scanned the text. Our exit ticket allowed us to consolidate our learning through a summarising question. We ensured we text marked as we ordered each statement.
