Tuesday 

This week we will be enjoying the traditional tale of Cinderella. Below there is the link to the story of Cinderella which you can read together.  Alternatively you may have your own book at home with the story in that you can enjoy reading!  If you have access to Disney Plus you might even like to enjoy watching the film!

Wednesday

Read the story again so that each time it gets a little bit quicker, a little bit more fluent and try to use more expression each time! 

Today we are going to use our inference skills.  Have a look at the pictures below.  How do you think the characters are feeling?  Why? Explain how you know!  (Make sure you use the word because when explaining your thoughts!)

Thursday

Today your challenge is to see if you can remember the key points of the story in the correct order.  You could choose to draw a story map drawing the events of the story in order or you could look at the pictures on the worksheet below and see if you can sequence them!

Friday

Can you retell the story of Cinderella without using the book?  You could do this by acting out the story with your family or your toys!  You could make some finger puppets from paper to help you! 

When you retell the story try to make sure you include the key events of the story and see if you can change your voice so you become the characters!
