Class 1R will be learning all about The Gruffalo as our major class reading book for the autumn term. We introduced this story to the children by first watching an animated video of The Gruffalo story. We asked each class member to come to the front and to identify a particular animal.
Who can see the snake? Whereabouts is the mouse? Is there a fox anywhere in the picture?
We also described the different animals to the children so that they could see that they are all different. A large part of our learning will be based around being able to identify the different animals involved in the story.
Various table activities were then set up to reinforce this work.
