The Gruffalo

We spent week 9 reading 'The Gruffalo' by Julia Donaldson.  It is a creative story with an interesting plot where a little mouse tricks all the animals who want to eat him.....including the scary Gruffalo. 

We looked at the descriptive words she used when she wrote about the gruffalo.  Then we created our own scary creature and wrote about it using good descriptive words too.

We learnt a song about the gruffalo and made up some scary actions.  It was great to have fun learning in the last week of term.



We took the song words home to practice during the holidays. This is it;

‘The Gruffalo Song’  

He has terrible tusks,

and terrible claws,

and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws

He’s the Gruffalo, Gruffalo, Gruffalo.

He’s the Gruffalo!

He has nobbly knees

and turned -out toes

and a poisonous wart at the end of this nose

He’s the Gruffalo, Gruffalo, Gruffalo.

He’s the Gruffalo!

His eyes are orange,

his tongue is black,

he has purple prickles all over his back

He’s the Gruffalo, Gruffalo, Gruffalo (x2)

He’s the Grrrr Grrrr Grrr Gruffalo!

He’s the Gruffalo!

Have fun at home showing somebody your dance but don't scare them!
