Children return to school Mon 8th April


Today, you’re job is to look at these statements. Decide if they are true or false and use evidence to back up why you think this. I’ve added the story here, but don’t re-read the whole story, use the illustrations (pictures) to find the right section then just read the relevant page.

Here are your statements:

  1. Peter wanted to play the game.
  2. Jumanji is only finished when a player gets to the Golden City.
  3. Judy laughed when the lion appeared.
  4. There were twelve monkeys in the kitchen.
  5. Peter wasn’t afraid of the lion.

Your answers should look like this:

Example: Other children found Jumanji after Peter and Judy hid it.

Your answer: It is true that other children found Jumanji, I know this because in the story it says “Danny had a long, thin box under his arm.”

    1) Peter wanted to play the game.
    This is false because Judy found the game and said to Peter do you want to play and he said no not really it’s probably just boring.

    2) Jumanji is only finished when a player gets to the Golden City.
    This is true because when Judy was reading the rules it said “The game will only be finished once a player reaches the Golden City.” Which’s mean that is the end of the game.

    3) Judy laughed when the lion appeared.
    This is false because it said that she looked up with a horror on her face, she must of been so scared to see a lion behind her brother.

    4) There were twelve monkeys in the kitchen.
    This is true because it said there were a dozen monkeys and a dozen means 12.

    5) Peter wasn’t afraid of the lion.
    This was false and there was a lot of evidence that can back this up. When Judy told him to turn around it said his eyes widened and he fell off his chair. Also it says that he ran upstairs and hid under the bed And then when he got out of the room he was gasping for breath.
