"Goodnight Mr Tom" by Michelle Magorian.

Today we started to look at the characterisation and relationship between four main characters; William, Zach, Mr Oakley and Mrs. Beech. In small groups, the children mind mapped what they knew about each character and tried to empathize with them.

As a group, we then hot seated the characters and asked the open questions relating to the character in the 'hot seat'.

We also read through and discussed a playscript which had been written based on our text. The children were given 3 minutes to prepare a short piece of drama, using the stage directions in the script. The children then performed their section to the class. Collectively, we reviewed the performance using WWW (What went well?) and EBI (Even better if?).

Well done Year 6
