Literacy
Please listen to Mrs C reading this superb collection of poems. What words do you notice that rhyme? Which was your favourite sea creature?(mine is the angel fish!) Could you write and illustrate a poem about an animal on land or sea? Finally, did you spot all the star fish hiding on each page?!
I hope you enjoyed this magnificent story. Also here is the link for the excellent cartoon adaptation. Can you see any differences? Also you might like to write the story as a script or as a diary entry from either the snail or whales's perspective.
