For our Writing Experience Lesson we went into the forest area where we shared our new text. This helped with visualising what the rainforest may be like instead of being in the classroom. We explored and unpicked the front cover and blurb, making predictions before we started reading. We looked at the pictures throughout the book and how they related to the story. We used our senses throughout our discussions, this will support us when writing in a few days. When back in the classroom we started some chotting around the 5 senses. Children then added to our classroom display using our chotting and from reading the text. This helped us to visualise what a rainforest may be like.
