Scottish Book Week

Tiddler

As part of Scottish Book Week both P5 classes have been taking a closer look at Julia Donaldson books. On Monday we read and discussed The Gruffalo and Room on a Broom. We looked at the main ideas of the books and how Julia used language to engage the reader.

On Tuesday we worked in smaller groups. Each group had a different Julia Donaldson book to read and create 6 questions about. Here are some of the groups with their book and questions.

The Snail and the Whale
The Gruffalo's Child
The Stick Man
Cave Baby
Monkey Puzzle

The groups then visited each other and answered the prepared questions. The 6 questions included an open ended question, true/ false, sequencing, cloze procedure, a question that requires evidence and a vocabulary question.
