The Gruffalo
The Gruffalo
This term we are starting with the story The Gruffalo. We will begin by learning the story and then breaking it it down. We will learn how to describe the Gruffalo character using adjectives as well as what he eats and his habitat. We will focus on the difference between fact and opinion. This will allow the students to make a new character to write about in the same format at the end of the unit.
Below is a story map and text which shows the format the students will learn to write in:
Handa's Surprise
Handa's Surprise by Eileen Browne.pptxHanda's Surprise, a story about a girl, a basket of delicious fruits and some silly animals! We have adapted the story and created a story map which the children have been practising with. During this unit, the children will focus on adjectives, verb use, past tense verbs and using 'and' to join ideas. Do you?
One sunny day a kind, little girl called Handa put four delicious fruits into a basket for her friend Akeyo. Handa walked to Akeyo’s village.
Unfortunately, some hungry animals wanted to taste the delicious fruits too.
First, a cheeky monkey stole the soft, yellow banana and the sweet, crunchy guava.
After that, a stripy zebra grabbed a round, juicy orange and a ripe, red mango! There were no more fruits left.
Suddenly, a goat ran into a tree and lots and lots of tangerines fell into Handa’s basket.
Eventually, Handa arrived and gave Akeyo the basket.
“Tangerines!” said Akeyo. “My favourite fruit!”
“TANGERINES!” said Handa. “What a surprise!”
