STAGE activities based on the book, "The King of The Birds"

I read the big book, 'The King of The Birds' by Judy Ling to the class during their stage activities. The children did a book review and a word map (colours) in their groups based on the book. Everyone played their different roles and got their group work done in time. In Unit 3, 'Writing is Exciting', the children learnt about the following:

• fwhat are fiction and non-fiction stories
• the different text types (poetry, recipe, list, stories and riddles)
• how to do book reviews

The children are reminded to keep in mind the following while doing their book reviews:

• identify the title and author/writer of the book
• include a short background/ overview of the story (characters and setting/place)
• describe the book (whether it is interesting or entertaining and why)
