This half term in Y5 our literacy focus is to write a high quality newspaper article reporting about the Hunger Games, we’re focusing on the beginning of the Hunger Games story where Katniss volunteers as tribute to replace her 12 year old sister: Primrose Everdeen. This morning in literacy we switched place with Primrose and tired to see things from her point of view, we took it in turns to hot seat and interview one another as Primrose.

We came up with lots of questions which an interviewer might ask Primrose during an exclusive but in the end we narrowed it down to these three:
– What is your opinion of the Hunger Games?
– How did you feel when your name was picked and you were chosen as the female tribute to represent District 12 in the Hunger Games?
– Do you think Katniss volunteered as tribute for your sake or for the sake of your mothers?

What do you think? If you were Primrose Everdeen how might you answer these questions?
