As our History topic is all about the Industrial Revolution this term, the Upper School Class have begun reading and studying the novel, Street Child by Berlie Doherty. This book is all about a real life child who inspired Dr Barnardo to set up his charity for destitute children during the Victorian era. 
In our English lesson this morning we focused on comprehension of feelings of characters in the text through creating freeze frames of scenes and then waking up the characters to see what they were thinking and feeling at that moment. The children worked so well in groups of 5 to choose their own scene from the text to recreate and they made sure they focused their attention on the emotions felt for their freeze frames. Pictures of these are below…perhaps you could ask your child about who they were in the picture, what that character was feeling and why.
