LKS2 – Classes 6&7 – Mr Gamble’s English Group

This week in English pupils have been reading a fact-file on fire-making in the Stone Age. Children have had great fun in learning how fire changed the lives of the people who lived through this age and writing their own fact-files. As part of this, we have been developing our reaidng skills with ‘paired reading’ and learning new vocabulary. After using our reaidng skills to guess at the meaning of new words from clues in the text and wider background knowledge, pupils then showed off their dictionary skills to find the definitions and check if their predictions were accurate.
