To introduce our writing topic, tales of fear, the Year 6 children participated in a Philosophy for Children lesson. In this lesson, they read a story which described the misfortune of two siblings after they decided to enter a haunted house. After reading the story, the children discussed the underlying themes and highlighted how the author chose to explore ideas of trust, bravery, loyalty and fear. Once they had identified the themes, they worked together to generate 'big questions' about the text - some of these can be seen below.
