If you only do one thing

We know time is tight, so here is just one activity you could do with your class before or after watching the broadcast.

Quilt for Tiny Mouse TCH 0-12a, EXA 1-02a, EXA 1-03a

Children can make their own ‘quilt’ for Tiny Mouse by drawing pictures and attaching them to each other to create a collage. Get them to think about things he might like to see on the quilt (look at the pictures hanging up in his house for some inspiration!). They could find out some fun facts about mice and depict these on the quilt; alternatively, they could recreate the events of the story in pictures (a good opportunity to support retelling skills).

After this, you could invite another class in to tell them all about the pictures on your quilt and share the story with them.
