Inference and deduction...

• What do these images suggest about the story?

• How do you know this?

• Would you make any changes to your ideas about what you think the story might be about now?

Now watch the trailer...

Is this what you were expecting?

Like the look of ‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’?

Then why not join this term’s

‘TAS Readers’ group!

We will be sending out letters with full details of the event later today. So if you want to get involved, come and see Mrs Benoy or Mrs Russell for a copy of ‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ so that you can read it over half-term, and on Wednesday 12th June, we will be getting together to discuss our views about the story before watching the film. We look

forward to seeing you there!
