Teacher Mark’s Reading Room

For a bit of something different, the P3 Reading classes this week are listening to a two-part recording of Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach, courtesy of the BBC. P3 Yellow did very well listening to Part One yesterday; I was worried that the heavy British accents would be off-putting to some but they sat quietly for the most part (although there was a lot of tittering during the songs). I asked them a few comprehension questions and they answered them very well. This is to prepare the children for their Listening Comprehension mid-terms next month.
