English Week 2
Monday: Lesson 1
LO: To make predictions
Look carefully at
the picture and the story starter…
Story
starter!
Toby had thought the art gallery a boring place to
visit. In fact, he had said as much to his mum as he trudged up the grand,
stone steps to the entrance an hour earlier. “Mummmmm” he had complained, “I
hate coming here. The animals never dooooo anything.”
Toby was now thinking he had been wrong. His jaw
dropped and he stared in utter disbelief at the sight in front of him, pointing
as water cascaded onto the floorboards from the painting containing a herd of
elephants stampeding through the Ganges river. Toby could not believe his eyes:
this trip was starting to get interesting…
