English

Learning Objective: To understand what is being read and make links to other stories.

Listen to me reading the first 3 double pages of the story and follow the words. Then listen again and take a good look at the illustrations.

We like to think about the books we are reading so I would like you to draw a ‘tell me’ grid in your books or on paper. Have a go at writing down (or ask your parents to write as you talk) the things you like and dislike about the book so far. Then think about anything that puzzles you (any questions you would like to ask) and whether the book reminds you of another story.

Grown ups or older siblings-if you are helping a child to do this task, the focus is on what they say rather than whether they can write it down. Feel free to write for them on this task as they can often say more than they can write down.
