After listening to the story with Miss Iemmolo, follow along with the procedure of how to draw Steven Seagull. Just like a directed drawing, pause the video if you need more time to draw. At the end, add some kung fu fighting moves! Don’t forget to add a splash of colour too.

Good readers can retell or "sum up" the important parts of a story in their own words.

Listen to the story of 'Little Lost Dinosaur'. Use what you have learnt about identifying the somebody, wanted, but, so, then in a story to complete the sentence in the graphic organiser. Then draw a picture to match your summary.

with Miss Danson

Listen to the story Oi Frog!, where each animal's designated seat rhymes with that animal's name. Can you think of some other animals or objects and what they might sit on? Draw and write at least 3 (these must be different to the ones we heard in the story!)

with Mrs Monte

Good readers can retell or "sum up" the important parts of a story in their own words.

Listen to the story of 'Possum Magic' with Mrs Monte and Jabber the Reteller. When you are done, use the movie strip to draw and write a short, sharp retell of the story using the main events.

with Miss Dunstan

Listen to the story about Little Unicorn learning to dance. Draw a picture that shows you doing something for the very first time, for example: meeting someone new, going to a new place. Write about how you felt.

Good readers ask questions before, during and after reading to help them make sense of the text.

Watch the video and follow along, pausing when you need, to record your own questions. You may use the template provided or write in your book/on paper.

Listen to the story 'Imaginitis'. Can you use the imagination key to write down a sensible thought then turn it into a silly thought?

with Mrs Monte

You have listened to the story, you heard how revolting he is, now join Mrs Monte in a directed drawing session to create a portrait of the disgusting Mr Twit.

Texts can be written for a range of different audiences and purposes. While The Magical World of Roald Dahl magazine includes "terrific tales" like the narratives above, it also includes procedures to "get whizzily busy"! Let's take a look at one together.

What do you see? What do you think? What do you wonder?

Have a go at following the steps of this procedure to make your own Charlie's Chocolate Bars!

with Mrs Monte

Listen to this story about a very WACKY Wednesday. Can you find all of the things that are wacky?

Imagine there are other silly days, like Mad Monday, Terrible Tuesday, Thoughtless Thursday or Freaky Friday... What might happen on these days? Draw and write.

with Miss Woodward

Good readers make predictions and think about what the story might be about and what might happen next.

Follow along with Miss Woodward as she reads 'Arthur and the Curiosity', and pause the video when prompted to think about and record your predictions.
