Today you are going to find or create your own hole like in the book The Something!

Go for a walk and look for an interesting hole in the ground, or see if you can find one in your garden. If you can’t find any, ask a grown up if you are allowed to dig a little hole in the ground! Or use the slides to see pictures of different holes and choose your favourite.

Look through PowerPoint (Wednesday)

Activity: walk around your home or school and look for objects which share a 3D shape. Draw or write what the object is.

In the story The Something, everyone in the family thinks something different is in the hole. Talk to other people in your family about what they think is in your hole – does everyone have a different idea of what might be down there? Why do they think that? How do they feel about what could be down there? Record everyone’s ideas by drawing a picture and writing sentences about what they think is in the hole on the storyboard sheet.

For example – My dad thinks there is a little family of Borrowers living in the hole, with tiny furniture and tools.

My Nanna thinks there is a treasure chest deep in the hole, full of golden jewels!

Today we are going to write our own versions of the story The Something! Fold your paper to create pages, and use each page to record all the different ideas of what could be inside the hole which you collected yesterday. Add an illustration for each. Save the last page/s to write and draw about what you think is in the hole!
