Why this why now
In this unit, pupils will develop their comprehension around the characters, setting and plot and engage in rich discussions and make predictions. In the previous unit, 'Don't Cross the Line!', pupils were encouraged to link the text to their own personal beliefs and experiences. In this unit, the theme of family is explored, further encouraging pupils to link what they read to their personal experiences. This unit prepares pupils for the future unit 'Grandad's Island', where pupils will read and explore another text around a family, but in a different context.
