The Reading Corner
Welcome to our weekly section of the newsletter all about reading. Every week, we will share a question (or two) with you about the book your child is reading in school. Please use these questions to help you find out a little more about what your child has been reading in school and continue to develop their love of reading.
Wonder - In our story, Barbara Throws a Wobbler, why does Barbara throw a wobbler? (sock problem, strange pea, stepping on a crack, dropping her ice cream) What is the wobbler made from? (all her upset and angry feelings) How does she 'unmake' the wobbler? (stops shouting, has a think about the problems, and squishes down the feelings until they disappear)
Peake - What problem does Floyd face at the beginning of the story? (his kite gets stuck in a tree) How does Floyd try to solve his problem at first? (he throws his shoe into the tree) Can you remember any of the other objects that Floyd threw into the tree?
Weir - How would you feel if you were Snow White and your father married the wicked stepmother?
Thunberg - Did the story of Nen and the Lonely Fishman remind you of any other stories? Which ones and why?
Darwin - Why are trees important to the environment? What can we use trees for?
Attenborough - Where do you think will the Shadow Moth lead the girls? What is it that Zuby wants the moth to help him with?
Parks - What are the four children called, and why were they living with the professor?
