Our entry ticket allowed us to build on previous reading lessons, thinking back to the African countries we have studied and read about. We thought back to the facts we had learnt about these countries and worked with our partners to voice facts. I was blown away by what we remembered! We have really loved learning about each country and learning about what it has to offer.

We then read our next bit of text all about Mauritius! This was a complete contrast to some of the countries we had previously looked at. We took part in a partner read, independent read and then a chorus read. We read the text over and over to ensure we were taking in the information. Mrs McClare questioned us on our reading as we read. We unpicked some of the language and made inferences based on the information.

We then moved onto our reasons to read, using the text to support our answers. We looked at different types of questions, some of these were ones we had struggled with in our latest assessment. We thought about our impressions of Mauritius and used the text to support our ideas.

Finally our exit ticket allowed us to think about Ammeenah Gurib, we voiced all the facts we had learnt about her whilst reading. A fantastic reading lesson today 🙂
