Today Cedar and Maple class joined together to launch our new novel study. First we met in the hall and listened an extract from the book. We considered how it made us feel, what we imagined in our mind and any particularly poignant words. Then with a partner we wrote those words down.
We then spread the words around the room. One child in the partnership closed their eyes whilst their partner talk them on a word walk. They read the words they passed on the ground to create an image in their partners mind. Then they swapped over.
In the hall before school an exploration area had been created. The pairs had to crawl in and imagine how the character in the extract felt and what they saw.
Once all these experiences had finished the children created a sketch of whatever ideas they had developed.
The pairs then went to class and completed their sketches with colour.
