Friday 3rd May

This term in Class 3 we have started reading a new book during our English lessons, 'Varjak Paw' by SF Said. The book is about a cat called Varjak Paw and on Monday, after reading the first two chapters of the book, the class was split into 4 groups of 5. Each group were asked to consider the relationship between Varjak and the five key members of his family: Mother, Father, Jasmine, Julius and Elder Paw. Every member of each group chose a family member to play and came up with a 'freeze frame' of that character during a family discussion when Varjak was telling them about something extraordinary he’d seen. The groups showed their freeze frames in front of the class and each child voiced what they thought their character would be saying at this ‘frozen moment in time’. Each of them then wrote this thought in a thought bubble.
