Tom is angry at his soccer team mates because: There are 11 people in a soccer team and Tom's team has 11 players including him. Tom is probably angry at his soccer team mates because: They didn’t want to pass the ball to him. Tom could also be angry because: His soccer team lost their game.

Hannah’s happy that it’s Christmas because: She is waiting for presents. But it could also be her birthday because: She grabbed her present and started to open it with delight. She is very excited because: Her eyes became as big as saucers. Hannah was also happy because: She was giggling and squealing. Hannah might be turning 1 because: She has tiny hands.

Fred is sad because: He saw a picture of his wife on the wall of the shop. Tom could also be sad because: When Fred saw his wife on the wall, he remembered that his wife passed away.

L.I is to infer information from a text
This week for reading we were learning about Inferring. We got into our reading groups and we had a couple of examples and did them with our groups. Then was our must do which was to make a copy of this document called Inference detective where you have to read all: 4 texts and infer about them. I had 4 infers for TOM, 5 infers for Hannah and 2 infers for Fred. I only had 2 infers for Fred because , Fred was hard. Fred was sad and saw a photo of his wife on the wall of his local shop and I inferred that his wife died. Inferring is reading a text and comparing the text with what you already know then using what you know to infer about the text.
