This resource contains a collection of carefully selected photographs designed to help pupils explore inference, curiosity and storytelling through visual prompts.

Images encourage pupils to consider what an object might suggest about events, people and situations, using the See, Think, Question framework. Pupils are prompted to observe details, make thoughtful inferences and ask meaningful questions based on visual evidence.

Images include a range of positive, neutral and curious everyday objects across indoor, school and outdoor settings, allowing pupils to practise inference across different contexts without relying on prior knowledge.
