Autumn Reading in Team GG

During the Autumn term, the children in Team GG have been exposed to a range of short non fiction texts to develop their vocabulary linked to both their Science and Geography topics.  During each session, the children have had opportunities to Think, Pair, Share what they have found out from each paragraph. They also developed their confidence to use the dictionary to locate the correct definition for the subject specific words.  For some of the sessions, the children have enjoyed reading the first part of the fictional text Tilly the Time Machine and The Twits by Roald Dahl.  They were able to make inference linked to the actions of the characters in the text as well as explore how the author has built the vivid image of the settings through the choice of language.
