YEAR 1

ACTIVITIES TO WORK WITH THIS BOOK:

WORD LEVEL: To create a word bank with the name of the animals what appear in the story, with a picture next door. 

SENTENCE LEVEL: Using the smart board, the teacher has to prepare story cards with missing words, and full stops, and the children have to write it properly. This is useful to recognise full stops and capital letters when reading, and name them correctly.

TEXT LEVEL: To retell the story, the teacher gives every body a card of an animal of the story, dividing the class in seven groups. The teacher is the guardian’s wife. The teacher will ask: Who got out of the cage first and the children holding that animal stand up and the rest of the children say, "Good Night, (name of the animal)." As each animal is called the teacher puts the pictures in order in the board.
