Plazoom has teamed up with Beano to create comprehension activities based on one of its well-loved comic strips. The comprehension questions will develop pupils’ skills when answering questions that involve retrieval, inference, vocabulary and sequencing. A writing prompt is also included with each resource pack.

In this resource, pupils will read a story that features Bananaman. In this adventure, Eric is set art homework but learns more about colour when General Blight uses his Pigmentor to remove different colours. They will answer questions about the story, then complete Eric’s homework, writing or drawing something that is important to them.

Pupils should check that they understand what they read by
- checking that the text makes sense to them ... checking the meaning of words in context.
- drawing inferences such as inferring characters feelings, thoughts and motives for their actions, and justifying inferences with evidence.
Pupils should plan and discuss their ideas for writing.
