This week, we began exploring a new text all about climate. To prepare for our reading, we went on a vocabulary hunt around the classroom! We spotted new, tricky words and used Widgit images as clues to help us work out what they might mean.

The children did a brilliant job acting as "vocabulary detectives," using the picture clues to write predictions on their whiteboards. We focused on understanding specific climate types, including Mediterranean, arid, tropical, and polar. It was fantastic to see the children using their inference skills to tackle these big words before we started our reading. We are now ready to dive deeper into the text!
