Yn Mwynhau darllen y stori. Enjoying reading the story. We have been enjoying shared reading of Michael Morpurgo’s Second World War novel ‘Friend or Foe’ - the story of two friends, David and Tucky, who are evacuated to Devon from London. Some of us read the characters’ dialogue and some of us read the narrative. In our shared reading sessions, we have been discussing the novel’s plot, setting, characters and themes.

Yn Y Gadair Boeth! In the Hotseat! We took part in a 'hotseating' activity where the children in the hotseat adopted the roles of characters from the novel ‘Friend or Foe’. William and Bethany adopted the personas of David and Mr. Reynolds. They had to empathise with these characters, speaking in role and thinking about the novel’s events from their point of view. We aimed to ask ‘David’ and ‘Mr. Reynolds’ open questions to which they could give extended answers.
