Children return to school Mon 8th April

Hello Superstars, Welcome to Story Time!

Today we are reading ‘Monkey Puzzle’ by Jill Murphy’. I hope you enjoy the story, this is one of my favourites! 🌟

Why was the little monkey sad?

If you were lost what would be the safest thing to do and why?

How many different animals can you identify in the story?

Think about each animal in the story; how does each animal travel?

Last term we learnt about frogs and butterflies; what can you tell me about how they change (Think about their life cycle)?
