Grandad’s Island
By Ms Ejiogu In News, PupilsThis half term, our whole school took part in a project based on the CLPE’s new project: The Power of Pictures. We wanted all of our children to explore a high quality picture book, allowing our children to put themselves inside the story and empathise with characters and their issues and dilemmas. We wanted our children to engage with illustrations to explore and recognise the added layers of meaning these can give to our interpretation of a text, and to explore how to use drawing as an approach to enhance thinking for writing and developing vocabulary.
The book we chose to focus on was Grandad’s Island by Benji Davies.
