The Explorer - Session 2 - Prediction

In "The Explorer - Session 2", an interactive and engaging activity designed for Key Stage 2 students, the focus is on harnessing the power of prediction to stimulate imagination and critical thinking. The session prompts students to ponder over an intriguing question: What will happen when the children wake up? This simple yet thought-provoking query sets the stage for students to delve into the realm of possibilities and craft their own narratives based on their understanding and creativity.

Students are encouraged to articulate their predictions in a structured manner, allowing them to connect with the story and its characters on a deeper level. They are provided with a space to write down their forecasts, preceded by the stem "I predict that". This exercise not only enhances their anticipatory reading skills but also fosters a sense of curiosity and engagement with the text. By personalizing the activity with their name, students take ownership of their ideas, making the learning experience both personal and memorable.
