These notes provide you with guidance and ideas for supporting children’s enjoyment and engagement with the text and their reading and writing inspired by the story. The activities could be run over a period of 1-2 weeks and are suitable for KS1 children, with the story being slowly revealed to the children over this time. The creative ideas can be incorporated at the end of the notes which offer guidance for what to do after reading to further support children’s literacy development.
