The Middler Chapter 1
I wasn’t going to post any story time videos this week as it is Holy Week. However, I have had emails from parents saying that you are missing them. I have decided to read a chapter book to you all. This is a long story but a very good one. It is Mrs Tibbits book that she has lent to me and I really enjoyed reading it. I have put the pages on to the video so you can see what I am reading. At the end of each video I will explain the main parts so you can understand it a bit better. Here is part 1:
Reading
Today I would like you to read the story ‘Nok’s Lunch’. He is a mischievous little alien. You can click on the picture of the book and it will take you straight there.
New word: mischievous- causing trouble in a playful way. Miss Barr was feeling mischievous in the garden.
Have a go at the activities after you have read the book and let me know what you think :-).
