TheSnowman-210719.PDFNote to parents:
As you start this activity the children are likely to give you quite simple ideas and maybe incomplete sentences. For example on the first page if you ask "what is happening at the beginning?" your child may say "he's sleeping. Encourage them to say "Tom is sleeping" or "Tom was asleep" etc. We want the children to tell the story using full sentences. It's fine to model this for them to get the story going. Reading back what your child has dictated is a really good way to get the story flowing.
You don't need a sentence for every picture. You may end up summarising a few pictures with just one sentence. You may also like to choose one scene to describe more fully with some descriptive language. As this is a pretty new activity giving a few clues is ok but please insist that your child does their best to contribute their own ideas to the story.

Hibernation
Hibernation
I wonder....
I wonder....
Only Lucy sent me an answer to this question. Well done Lucy! Lucy suggested that the squirrel sniffed out the nuts and remembered where they were.
According to the team at BBC Wildlife Magazine, squirrels use a combination of clues to find their nuts again later. A particular place will have been chosen – under a big oak, for example – and remembered. Several squirrels may also use the same patch, which increases the probability that they will find stored nuts simply by chance.
When a squirrel returns weeks later, it peers at the ground, looking for disturbed soil and sniffing to detect a nutty smell. This multi-sense inspection focuses digging on the spots most likely to yield a nut. Any that are missed develop into new trees, benefiting future generations. Squirrels can even sniff out stored nuts under a layer of snow.
Fun facts about hibernation
Hibernation occurs when an animal becomes inactive, or "sleeps," during the short, cold days of winter.
Hibernating and dormant mammals include bears, squirrels, groundhogs, raccoons, skunks, opossums, dormice, and bats.
Frogs, toads, turtles, lizards, snakes, snail, fish, shrimp, and even some insects hibernate or are dormant during the winter.
To prepare for hibernation, many animals eat to gain weight in the summer and fall. The extra fat keeps them alive during the winter.
A black bear can gain up to 30 pounds a week during its pre-hibernation eating binge.
During the fall, hibernating animals prepare nests for their winter sleep. Some store extra food in their nests.
Some hibernating animals wake for short periods during hibernation to eat and relieve themselves. Others sleep through the entire winter.
During hibernation, the heart rate for many animals slows to less than 10 beats per minute. Breathing also slows.
A hibernating animal has internal controls that prevent its body temperature from falling too low. The animal will wake up if its temperature is too near the freezing point.
Some female bears have babies during hibernation.

After the pictures are coloured, carefully cut out the boxes and paste them in the right order to make a story on your piece of cardboard provided.
Colour the things that are the same in each box the same. It is easiest if you start with one thing and colour all of that thing first. I did all the jackets first.
Then all the pants
I kept going like that until my pictures were all coloured.
Then cut your pictures and paste them on the strip of cardboard in the right order to tell the story.
The Snowman Race
