Today you will be starting lessons based on 'The Highway Rat' by Julia Donaldson.
Before looking at the book, today you will be finding out facts about rats.
Talk about what you already know about rats? Have you ever seen a rat or read a story about one?
Write down some questions about what you would like to know about rats, e.g. What type of animal is a rat? Where do rats live? How dirty are rats?
Watch Seven Fun Facts about Rats using the link below, from the start up to 4:01 mins.
This can be watched all in one go or can be paused to see what your child can tell you about what they have heard.
Create a fact file about rats from your findings. This could include drawings and fact boxes. Remember to check your sentences for spellings, capital letters and full stops.
