Julia Donaldson



Talk Homework

Monday 5th March

Over the next few weeks we will be learning about the children's author Julia Donaldson and our language work will be based on some of the different captivating stories that she has written.

I have included a list of some of her picture books, as many of the children in the class have already expressed that they have some of them at home. Her stories are full of rhythm and rhyme, and, if you haven't already read one, after you do you'll soon be able to re-tell them without reading the book! 

This week we will start with 'The Gruffalo'. Throughout the week we will be reading the story and watching the film. Our focus for writing on Friday is to create a comic strip of the story with speech bubbles.

The children will be taking home pictures of the main characters from the story. These can be cut out and used to re-tell the story in their own words. Focus on the character's spoken words when doing this.

Have fun, get the whole family involved, you could each be a different character!!!
