Varmints 2: The Return of the ‘Others’

Over the last half-term, the children in Year 6 have explored the issues and ideas in the short story ‘Varmints.’ This book is a picture book, but it contains many thought-provoking images and the message behind it about caring for our planet is one that we should all heed. After learning different sentence structures and how to use a range of punctuation, the children have then written their own version of the story. They used a different setting – including rainforests, deserts and oceans – but their message still had to follow the original story.
