This KS2 War Horse Chapter 6 Whole Class Guided Reading Pack includes differentiated questions and activities based on Chapter Six of the popular novel by Michael Morpurgo. We recommend using this novel with Year 5 & Year 6.

In this chapter, the squadron travels by boat to France. When they disembark, they see all the wounded soldiers and suddenly they realise they are not prepared for the war ahead. As they are marching to the frontline, they stumble across the enemy and charge. During the battle, Captain Nicholls falls from Joey. In a blind panic, Joey gallops past the enemy and is later found by Topthorn

This pack contains colour-coded questions to ensure clear differentiation, as well as differentiated challenge tasks focussed upon ordering events, summarising chapters, letters and retrieving character information.
