Hogalo, Hawkalo, Badgalo?

Changing a Character

The children were so enthralled with Julia Donaldson's story 'The Gruffalo' that we have decided to continue with the story this week.

The children are to create a new character to replace the Gruffalo. Encourage your child to be as imaginative as possible! The character could be based on a real woodland creature, for example:

• badger
• hedgehog
• deer
• wild boar
• buzzard
• kestrel
• goshawk
• raccoon
• weasel
• stoat
• lynx
• toad
• rabbit
• ground beetle
• spider

  Please talk about the following:

• describe the extraordinary features the character has e.g. poisonous tongue
• What does the creature use it's extraordinary features for?
• How does it move?
• What sound does it make?
• a name for their creature, but it must end with 'alo'

On Friday the children will be writing a character description for their creature.

Have fun creating!
