Visualisation

October 25th, 2024

Visualisation has been our focus for comprehension in October. Take a look at some of our work based on the strategy.
The children looked at the lyrics of the song ‘Skeletons in the Closet’ by Louis Armstrong. This was linked to Jazz music which the children had be learning about in October also. In their reading partner groups they picked some lyrics and designed a picture using their visualisation skills.
Our 3 winning groups are pictured below!
