Year 1

Create some actions for the adjectives which describe the dogs, e.g. wide open arms for the word ‘big.’

Discuss - where did they go and what did they do?

Next, imagine they are Hairy Maclary. Practise saying out loud where you’ve been and with whom, e.g. First I went through my gate and off for a walk. Then I met my friend Hercules Morse… Next we went past the shops and the park…
