In English this week, the children were introduced to their new core text for the half term, Alex Rider. The focus of the lesson was on developing inference skills. The children carefully read sections of the text and discussed what they could learn about Alex Rider’s appearance, personality, and experiences. Using clues from the story rather than direct descriptions, the children created a character profile by drawing Alex and adding details that they inferred from the reading. They used evidence from the text to explain and justify their choices, helping to deepen their understanding of the character and strengthen their comprehension skills.
