Making inferences

We are learning to make inferences in Reading. When we make inferences we use the clues in the picture or the text and our prior knowledge (what we already know about a topic) to say what we think may have happened. 

Click on the padlet and make some inferences about what you think happened here. Remember to say why you think this as well.
