The Tiger who went into the forest

Year 1
We had a huge surprise on Monday when we discovered the left overs of a tea party. In our classes we found dirty plates, cups, a foot print, orange and black fur and a picnic blanket. After studying the evidence we linked what we have found to Judith Kerr's story The Tiger Who Came to Tea.

In Tuesday's lesson we took turns to hot seat each other to collect information for a newspaper report. We took on the roles of the newspaper reporter and the tiger.

We took a closer look at the story and identified the five main parts to put onto a story map: opening, build up, problem, resolution and ending.
