Week beginning 22nd June 2020

This week, we’d like you to read/ watch Handa's Surprise, and Handa's Noisy Night by Eileen Browne.

Handa, the main character in the stories lives in South-West Kenya in a community of families called the 'Luo people'.

We would like you to find out about nocturnal animals – especially the animals that live in Kenya.

Here is some information on nocturnal animals.

Nocturnal Animals (read aloud, storybook)

Nocturnal animals is a simple children's book describing several different night time animals.

You could write down the facts you find out about the animals, and perhaps write a story like Handa’s Noisy Night.
Which is your favourite nocturnal animal? What do you like about them?
Would you like to live with the animals in Handa's stories in Kenya?
You could write down your answers to these questions, or draw and label pictures of the animals.
You could even write a story – taking inspiration and pinching ideas from ‘Handa’s Noisy Night’ or last week’s ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ - but have your hunt take place at night time!

And finally, below there is a comprehension task about elephants. There are 3 different levels of difficulty to choose from.
