Our Class Novel topic has begun and we’re well on the way with ours: The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. As this novel is set during World War Two, lots of our learning will be centred around this – something the children said they’d like to learn about last year.
Although the children knew that their class novel would be linked to WWII, they didn’t know which novel I’d chosen. So, on Monday, they entered the school of code breaking and had to break the code to find out what the novel was.
Help at home by asking about the class novel:
- What’s happening in the story at the moment?
- Are you enjoying it?
- What have you learnt about the war while reading it?
- What are the characters like?
