Exploring "The Phoenix of Persia" Year 411 September 2024 (by lkitchen) |
At first, Year 4 were given the front cover of the text with the title missing. They made predictions about whether the book was fiction or non-fiction, what they thought the creature on the cover was and where the story could be set. The children started listening to a version of the story with traditional musical accompaniments. At various points we stopped to explore the setting and the characters and make predictions about what would happen later in the story. We discovered the story was set in Persia (modern Iran) so we also spent time investigating where Iran is and what the climate and landscape is like there. Please keep checking our Class page for more activities we have been taking part in.
