Today the children were introduced to their new novel ‘The Unforgotten Coat’ by exploring the strange coat that was hung up in the classroom last week. They discussed the facts they knew about the coat such as its colour, type of coat and heaviness. Abigail then discovered some Polaroid pictures in one of the pockets! This was exciting for the class as it generated lots of discussion about where the pictures were taken and by whom. They then went on to write about what they thought and the evidence they could use to back up their ideas. They used a range of conjunction words to write these sentences including the use of commas to show subordinate clauses at the start of the sentences.
