Reading: Retrieval

Wednesday 21 January 2026

In today’s lesson, Year 6 became reading detectives! We re-read our text of the week ‘The Watertower’ by Gary Crew and then created retrieval questions on Kahoot. We will test our peers on these later this week.

We have also predicted and summarised the text so far. The children have REALLY enjoyed this book and have got ‘stuck in’ with their theories and predications. It really shows that when you enjoy a text, you understand it better!

Help at home: Can you child summarise the story? What is their theory about what has happened to Bubba!?
