Year 4 began the week looking at the cover of SF Said's book 'Varjak Paw'.
The children were only told that 'Varjak Paw' is the name of a cat. Using the front cover, they made predictions about the type of story it may be, discussed what they wanted to know about and noted what caught their attention and interest.
Here is a selection of their responses:
- The eyes grab my attention. (Khushi and Rajan)
- It looks like he's near a factory. (Ashley and Mahnoor)
- Does he have eyes at all? (Freddee and Muhammed M)
- Does the cat have a disability? (Laura and Layla)
- Does Varjak Paw have an owner? (Kulvinder and Jamima)
- Why does he have to fight? (Tiyah and Amaarah)
- Is this an adventure story? (Jamila and Izn)
- Is he a vampire cat? (Raymon and Hamida)
- Is he a ghost? (Laksaan and James)
- Is Varjak Paw a warrior cat? (Thivvian and Emma)
- Did he leave his family? (Veishnavan and Hannah)
- Jacqueline Wilson's comment makes me think 'what's going to happen?' (Anu and Swastika)
We're very excited about starting Varjak Paw!
