In one of our reading sessions this week, we practised our retrieval skills by completing a draw and label activity.
As a class, we read an extract from ‘Bill’s New Frock’ by Anne Fine.
The children were then given the task to draw the described setting in their books. They used their retrieval skills to scan and take bits of description from the text to use in their drawings.
Then, they labelled each part of the drawing using evidence from the text.
Whilst they were working on their retrieval skills, we listened to some Mozart in the background. Ask your child to see if they can remember any other composers we’ve listened to this year.
Here are some pictures of us hard at work:
