In this pack you will find 10 weeks of 15-20 minutes each day worth of work based on the Iron Man book by ted Hughes. Activities are run on a carousel with some that remain the same each week such as: -guided reading with the teacher -handwriting practise -comprehension questions Other activities change each week -fun game, activity or picture to draw -a GaPS activity based on a passage from the book. (In Presentation number one you will notice a hidden feature, see if you can find it) clue: you will need to press F5 first! background from Twinkl but all my own resource. thanks
