Our do now activity was a prediction about where we thought the tunnel led. We discussed the importance of giving full answers using because to explain why we thought that.
One of our predictions was thinking the bunny was about to enter Easter Egg Island which is a direct link to our current reading text about chocolate. We also had predictions about the bunny going to a fair because these are happy and bright places.
Once we’d given our predictions, we discussed how this could link to emotions and how currently the bunny is feeling upset but something is happening that will start to change his mood.
Our fluency focus was pausing and we are becoming more confident with pausing in the correct places to help our comprehension.
Finally, we went through the text and highlighted any vocabulary that we were unfamiliar with and text marked the definition.
