Reading: I can infer a character’s feelings.

Tuesday 06 May 2025

Last week, we were reading the story called Orion and the Dark by Emma Yarlett. Orion and the Dark: New DreamWorks film now on Netflix! : Emma Yarlett:  Amazon.co.uk: Books

It’s a great picture book that depicts Orion having a huge fear of the dark. The children really enjoyed reading this as there’s loads of little bits to pick a part.

We inferred Orion’s feelings as different points in the story by using clues and hints either in the text or pictures!

“We inferred that Orion was feeling anxious because he had never met Dark before and it’s his biggest fear.”

“I can infer that Orion was feeling content because he’s got a huge smile on her face.”

Help at home by showing an emotion through acting and facial expressions. Can you infer what emotion is being portrayed?
