This resource is a chapter-by-chapter comprehension unit to accompany the children’s Christmas novella ‘Footprints in the Snow’.
The format for each chapter is the same:
Five comprehension questions
Two discussion questions
Five words taken from the chapter, which students find the meaning of and then use in a sentence of their own.
This resource is aimed at Year 6 & 7 students.
I have organised the chapter questions and the answer key for each on separate A4 pages, so that students can work independently and at their own pace through each, if necessary. I hope this will be an interesting activity leading up to the Christmas holiday.

#EYFS #TheSnowyDay #EarlyYearsResources #WinterActivities #EYFSLiteracy #EYFSMaths #UnderstandingTheWorld #StoryBasedLearning #TESResources #PreschoolActivities #ReceptionClass #FineMotorSkills #EarlyYearsTeacher
A geography/Art lesson. Children discuss the concepts of 'permanence' and 'fleeting presence'. Create footprints that are permanent or fleetingly present by nature. This builds the foundation for the understanding of the fragility of the earth.
With poetic prose and soothing rhythm, Blackmore has created the perfect sleepy-time tale.
In her picture book debut, Jeanne Blackmore continues her grandfather Roger Duvoisin’s tradition of creating beautiful books for children. Through her poetic and deceptively simple text, Blackmore has created an ideal sleepy time tale:
“How does sleep come?” Jacob asked his Mama as he climbed into bed. Jacob’s Mama tucked the covers all around Jacob just so, and then she told him. “Sleep comes quietly. Like a snowfall that blankets a meadow on a dark starry night, and lays down a soft white canvas for rabbits to leave footprints.”
Jacob closed his eyes.
And the snow fell.
And the fog rolled in.
And the clouds drifted.
And the cat purred.
And quietly, silently, softly, peacefully, gently, Jacob fell asleep.
