The LO for this lesson was ‘I can use inference to answer questions’. It includes: 20-page Smart Notebook file - colourful, interactive and detailed Differentiated starter activity Differentiated main activity Plenary quiz cards Planning It went really well for my children, I loved teaching it and the headteacher was delighted with it too because it showed excellent progress in the children’s understanding and use of their inference skills and they were all engaged with the various activities. It starts with a definition of what inference is using words and colourful pictures and opportunities for Talk Partners. There is a differentiated starter activity where the children use their inference skills to solve riddles about mini-beasts - which they loved! The main activity begins with us inferring information from sentences - encouraging the children to paint pictures in their heads/ look for clues. The differentiated main activity requires the children to answer questions from text using their inference skills. The differentiated worksheets are clear and colourful. There is a plenary and a fun quiz at the end. The theme was linked to our topic which was mini-beasts.
