Week 4 Term 2

Loved the Rhyming words people chose... the most popular were..plop & hop!

The illustrations were amazing...the most popular pages where ... the apple swinging in the breeze, the page where the rabbits were eating chocolate cake & when the bear was running away from the Terrible Plop! Were any of these your favourite?

Today we are thinking about the front cover of a book and the information it contains.
We are taking some time out to snuggle up and read for fun!
No task this week- just enjoy!
We are learning about the many different types & features of books and the roles of the author & illustrator

Before you start to read today, LOOK at the Front Cover.

Can you find and point to the Title- The name of the story, on the front cover?
Can you find the Author's name- The person who writes the words in a book?
Can you remember what does it mean if there is only one name after the title? What two jobs did that person do?
Look at the Front cover carefully. Make a prediction, what do you think the story may be about?
After reading the book where you right?
Can you do this again with another of your books from home?
How did you go I bet you are an expert now!

Welcome Grade 1/2's

Week 4 Term 2

We are learning to identify and describe character traits.

Great thinking to all who have completed the task so far....the cape designs were awesome and the words & phrases all related perfectly to Fairy Tales......'THE END'

We have looked at how mice and rabbits are portrayed in literature, now let's investigate wolves!
How are they usually portrayed? Are they Villains or Heroes?

If you've been wondering......YES!!!! It's out now ...Bad Guys 11

Once upon a time....

The sentence....Once upon a time...immediately makes us think of Fairy Tales.

Task 1) As you listen & watch the story can you find and list at least 4 other characters from well known fairy tales?
Can you brainstorm any other words or phrases commonly found in fairy tales?

Record your thinking on a piece of paper, take a photo or on a doc don't forget to name & share

Wolves are often portrayed as Villains, the 'bad guys' in stories.

Wolfie wants to be a Hero, a good guy.

Task 2) Can you design a Super Hero cape for Wolfie to wear with some of his good qualities, actions listed on it?

Eg: You might put WW as a badge in the middle for 'Wonder Wolf"

List some words describing Wolfie's actions from the story, such as loyal, caring, underneath or around his cape...what else can you think of..

A tip would be to design your cape to almost be almost as big as an A4 sheet of paper.

That way it will look very effective..
