This week we are looking at the book by Julia Donaldson entitled ‘Room on the broom’. Look at the book together below.
Activity 1
Can you spot the rhyming words as you listen to the story and make a list at the end?
Activity 2
Listen out for the ingredients needed for the magnificent broom. Can you make a list of ingredients for a new spell? Look for things around the house you could put on your potion list.
Activity 3
Think about the different characters in the story. Look at the story together again. Can you describe the character of the witch? What does she look like? Is she kind? Is she mean? What words would you use to describe her?
