My class who then cut the small images out, stuck them into their books and retold the story next to it with a focus on punctuation. They really enjoyed it because the story is so silly! Pictures can be used for many different activities but will hopefully save you some time!

Chop up the instructions and give to children to reorder. Please leave feedback...thank you!

Small author labels for topic book making.

An overview of the year can be easily chopped and changed as links become apparent. Useful to see thing on paper altogether.

Self assessment checklist can be stuck into children's books or laminated and left in trays.

A start to comparing language style. Children given Donaldson books and fill in table group or individual work. Differentiated 3 ways: repetition, repetition and rhyme and various languages. Can obviously change the photos by copying and pasting different pictures in.

Stories by the same author. Different sentences/phrases typed up from Julia Donaldson books: A squash and a squeeze, Sharing a shell and Follow the Swallow. My class really enjoyed spliting them into groups. SOme chose 'people, animal, object&' others chose to group sentences according to punctuation or language. They were allowed to chose whether to use a venn diagram (hoops on floor) or large carroll diagrams I made up. I used this as a start for thinking about similarities and differences in books by the same author.

Jigsaw instructions to talk through before making and eventually children writing their own set of instructions.

A table that children can use to fill in the title of a book and then any adjectives they can steal from the book...which they'll later use in their writing. (BA)
