The WaterTower
In literacy we are looking at an award winning children’s book called ‘The Watertower’. It is a picture book which gives us the opportunity to draw our own conclusions as to what is happening in the story. The text is simple but the illustrations leave us intrigued and wondering what the author is trying to tell us. It is like solving a puzzle. We have had many in-depth discussions about the characters and the plot to help us try and solve the mystery.
