Here is a picture of the front cover of the book I have been reading to you. Well done to Thomas who got it correct. I was very impressed with everyone else’s guess though. Well done! Since September, we have been practising predicting and understanding that the title of the book links to what the story is about and I can see you are all getting so much better at it.
When we first looked at this story, I asked you what you know about pumpkins and lots of you said that we carve them for Halloween. In America, they use pumpkins for another celebration. It is a similar time of year to Halloween, in the autumn.
Read the information below about the American celebration and answer the questions.

Have you read any other Roald Dahl stories? Some of my favourites are: Matilda, The BFG and James and The Giant Peach. Many of his books have been turned in to films. I am surprised that George’s Marvellous Medicine hasn’t.
Learning Objective: Name and identify different trees.
When you go on your daily walk today, have a look at different types of trees. take your red books with you and draw the different trees all on one page.
What do you notice about the trees?
How do you know they are different?
Are there any trees that have some things that are different and some things that are the same.
Look at the colours of the trunks and their leaves. The shape of the leaves on a tree help us to know what the tree is called.
Have a look below:
Did you see any of those trees on your journey?
Some trees don’t loose their leaves in the autumn. Some trees are green all year round. These are called evergreen trees. The trees that loose their leaves are called deciduous trees.
Did you see some evergreen trees on your journey?
What do the deciduous trees look like in this season? It is spring at the moment.
