Spring 2 – Take One Book
This term we are using the story of The Watertower by Gary Crew. The story, which takes place in a small rural town called Preston in Australia, is about two teenagers exploring a sinister Watertower on Shooter's Hill. The boys choose to go swimming in the Watertower, but when one of them loses their shorts, the other goes to his house to get him some more. But during that time when the other boy is on his own, something happens to him...or does it?
We will be using the text to focus on writing our own version of the story.
Please have a look at the Knowledge Organisers in the Curriculum Documents tab above to find out more about our learning this term.
