Year 6 have started making inferences in guided reading and have been practising backing up their inferences with evidence. Today we looked at the picture book ‘Small Things’ and made inferences about the characters and the way they were feeling. This book is a wordless picture book so it is really useful to make inferences in order to understand what is happening throughout the story.

History Man – World War 2
Our afternoon with David, The History Man, started with briefly discussing World War One and how that impacted and influenced World War Two.
David then showed us and talked about a variety of different things and aspects of World War Two. This included the different types of gas masks there were, toys during World awards Two, shooting rifles, clothing, an air-raid siren, etc.
After learning lots of interesting facts, the children were then given some time to explore and were able to use the siren themselves, try on some clothes, and even practise their rifle skills!
The children had a great afternoon and really did love every minute of it. Thank you so much for David from all of Y6 for such a wonderful and informative time!
