ENGLISH - Taking information from a book cover

 What a start to Year 6! We went straight into our learning today and started to find clues from a book cover to make predictions, retrieve information and ask questions. 

We had a good discussion around questions the cover had us thinking about and shared some of our initial predictions. Then we looked at the blurb on the back - this gave us more information and therefore the chance to rewrite our predictions. 

We are now ready to look in more detail at our first book for our writing The Wolves in the Walls by Neil Gaiman.

Once this was understood, the children identified the latitude and longitude for different places on the world map.
