The Falcon's Malteser - Session 2 - My Thoughts

The second session of "The Falcon's Malteser" delves into the intriguing scenario where Johnny Naples entrusts the Diamond Brothers with a seemingly simple task: to look after a box of Maltesers. This prompts a thought-provoking question that encourages students to ponder the motives behind such an unusual request. Why would someone pay to have a box of chocolates protected? The session is designed to stimulate critical thinking and discussion among KS2 students, as they explore the possible reasons and implications of this peculiar situation within the narrative.

As part of their engagement with the text, students are invited to consider the potential significance of the Maltesers. This exercise not only deepens their understanding of the story's plot but also enhances their analytical skills as they hypothesize about the characters' intentions and the box's true value. Such an inquiry sets the stage for a richer reading experience, allowing children to immerse themselves in the mystery and draw their own conclusions based on the clues provided in the story. The session serves as an opportunity for students to articulate and share their thoughts, fostering a collaborative learning environment.
