In our first reading lesson we looked at a text about how the Mayans believed the world was created. The children completed two different activities: one answering questions based on the text and one looking at the different process the creators went through to reach the final creation.

To help the children understand more about why the war broke out, they focused on a non-fiction text in reading called ‘Why did Britain go to war?’ They completed a range of activities based on the text: fact retrieval, inference, summarising, find and copy and word meanings.
