Activity: Thinking about the Gruffalo today, see if you can design a Gruffalo Toast with ingredients that you have at home. (design on paper first and add labels)
Start with a slice of bread and then add in ingredients that you can use for the features of the Gruffalo. Make sure it is things that you can eat! Think about the description from yesterday. How did the mouse describe the Gruffalo? (use the pictures to help)

Day 4 and 5 –
We have looked at the story of the Gruffalo very closely recently. We talked about the characters, settings and looked very deeply at the mouse and the Gruffalo. We have used adjectives to describe different scenarios and now we are going to use all our knowledge to make our story book of the Gruffalo.
You are going to be writing the story…
To write your story, use the booklet. Think about the story sequence (remember your story map)
Use the story openers to think of some interesting words to write your sentences! Make the story suspenseful and exciting. After writing your story, use the space in your book to draw your pictures! You can even add in your own speech bubbles for the characters! We can’t wait to read your stories!
