Monday’s English Example
Activity: My Favourite story
Write the names of the people you live with or your wider family and ask them what their favourite childhood books were. Next to each name, try to write the titles of their favourite books.
Do the titles of each book give you some clues about what they might be like?
Now you have a list of some books you can read! And you can share your opinion with each person after you’ve read them.
Look at books and make predictions
There is a story called ‘The Magic Faraway Tree’. Take a few minutes to think about the name of the story and discuss what you think it might be about with your family or those around you.
Using the sentence stems below, write some simple sentences about what you think the story will be about. Use ‘because’, ‘if’ and ‘when’ in your sentences.
I think _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I hope _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
