The Explorer - Session 27 - Worksheet

The "Session 27 - Another Kind of Exploring & Epilogue" worksheet is a comprehensive guide designed for KS2 students to delve deeper into the concluding parts of a story. The session includes a variety of discussion questions that encourage students to reflect on the characters' experiences as the plane lands and they reunite with their families. These questions prompt students to consider character development and the purpose of an epilogue in literature. Additionally, reading activities are outlined to help students summarise the plot, review the book, compare the children's growth over time, and engage in drama exercises to explore characters' thoughts and emotions.

From a grammatical perspective, the worksheet provides a 'Grammar Hunt' activity to reinforce the use of commas, modal verbs, conjunctions, apostrophes, and paragraph structuring. A 'Words to Workshop' section is also included, featuring words such as 'bellowed' and 'embrace' for vocabulary building. Writing opportunities are abundant, ranging from book reviews and letters to the explorer to narrative writing and creating newspaper reports. The worksheet further suggests cross-curricular links, integrating subjects like science, computing, history, geography, music, physical education, and personal, social, health, and economic (PSHE) education to provide a holistic learning experience that extends beyond the traditional boundaries of English literature study.
