Our responses to James 📝✨🪲

Year 4 demonstrated exceptional skill in forming predictions while reading James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl. Pupils moved beyond surface-level guesses and instead used precise evidence from the text to justify their ideas. They carefully analysed key details  such as the mysterious old man, the magical green crystals, and the unusual growth of the peach  and explained how these clues informed their thinking about future events in the narrative.
