The Gruffalo

Last week, the children in Keystage One were learning about rhyming couplets. We decided to do this by looking a a book known by, most of, the children - The Gruffalo!

The children looked at the rhyming patterns in the book and how and why Julia Donaldson had chosen particular words. Then they had a go at re-writing the couplets. Here are a few examples.

Tom:- All was happy in the deep light wood. A mouse found a blackberry and the blackberry was good.

Alice:- All was calm in the muddy still wood. The squirrel found a  chestnut and the chestnut was good.

Gregor and Joseph:- All was noisy in the deep wet wood. The monkey found a banana and the banana was good.

Oscar:- All was dark in the green dry wood. The crocodile found a sweetie and the sweetie was good.

Molly:- All was calm in the deep dark wood. The fox found a banana and the banana was good.

Huey:- All was quiet in the dark dark wood. The snake found a chestnut and the chestnut was good.

Max:- All was noisy in the light green wood. The bear found a banana and the banana was good.
