Piggy book By Anthony Browne

Activity Instructions:

1. Watch the ‘Piggy book’ by Anthony Browne

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8_vZaer5lc

2. Read or watch (on Seesaw) Mrs Stainton’s ‘what good looks like’

example for recounting a text.

3. What kind of things did she do well and what could she improve her

task? Answer the questions about her retell.

Mrs Stainton’s ‘what good looks like’:

What is this story about? Piggy Book, by Anthony Browne, is a story about a

family of 4. A mum, a dad and two boys.

In this story mum does all the work around the house.

She does the cooking, the washing, and the cleaning

because everyone else is too busy doing other things

like going to an ‘important job or an important school’.

One day, mum disappears and leaves the dad and

sons a note. This means that the family must take care

of themselves by doing all the jobs themselves. The

family does not do a good job and slowly the pictures

change those boys into pigs.

After a few days mum returns and everyone starts to

help her with the jobs around the house.

The pictures in this story are very important. They often

tell the story and show the feelings of the mum without

it needing to be written in the words.

Questions: Is this recount clear and about the

story you watched? Why? (Explain

your reason)

What happens at the beginning of

this story? At the beginning of the story, we are

introduced to the characters. The characters in

this story are the Mum, Dad and two sons.

The story takes place or happens in the home

of our characters. The author describes what

each character does and how their family

works together or in this case does not work

together.

The family seems very busy, and everyone has

a important things to do, but no one helps the

mum with the work around the house. I feel like

they are not very respectful to their mum, the

house, or their own things. I can tell this by the

pictures and the way the author describes the

way the dad and the boys behave.

Questions:

Is this recount clear and

about the story you

watched? Why? (Explain

your reason)

What happens at the middle of

this story? In the middle of the story mum leaves a note to

the family. The author does not tell us what is

written on the letter using through the words.

You need to be able to see the pictures to

know what the note says. I think the author

does this to show how angry the mum is and to

make sure the reader is looking at all the clues

in the story.

Once the mum leaves, the author changes the

appearances of the family into pigs just like it

says in mum’s note.

The family now has to do all the jobs that mum

use to do, for themselves. They do not like it

and they are not very good at it.

They start to get very grumpy.

What happens at the end of this

story? Finally, mum comes back and just in time

because the family has run out of food.

Everyone is very happy to see mum and I can

tell this by the pictures.

Once mum returns the author changes the

family back into people. Now their

appearances have changed and so has their

attitudes. Everyone is now willing to help mum

and the family seems a lot happier.

Week 1 Tuesday-Activity 4

Fiction and Non-Fiction-Gorilla

Learning Intention: We are learning to find differences and similarities between factual and fictional texts.

Success Criteria:

-I can use a Venn diagram. -I can compare the fictional text about gorillas to the factual text about gorillas.

-I can recognise that fiction books are ‘make believe’. -I can recognise that non-fiction books are factual.

1) Read the story book ‘Gorilla’ by Anthony Browne - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsZn210fGWo&t=5s 2) Watch this video ‘Facts about Gorillas’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1yBcbZ1TSw OR read the facts on pages 4-6

Complete the Venn Diagram showing the similarities and differences between Gorillas in a fictional text with true facts about gorillas.

Gorillas Where do Gorillas Live? Gorillas live in Central Africa. There are two main species of gorilla: the Eastern Gorilla and the Western Gorilla. The Western Gorilla lives in Western Africa in countries such as Cameroon, the Congo, the Central African Republic, and Gabon. The Eastern Gorilla lives in Eastern African countries such as Uganda and Rwanda. Gorillas live in a range of places from swamps to forests. There are lowland gorillas which live in bamboo forests, swamps and lowland forests. Then there are also mountain gorillas, who live in forests in the mountains.

What do Gorillas Eat? Gorillas are mostly herbivores which mean that they eat plants. The plants they eat include leaves, stems, fruit, and bamboo. Sometimes they will eat insects, especially ants. A full-grown adult male will eat around 50 pounds (about 23kg) of food in a day. Just one day! That’s a lot…clearly, they get really hungry!

How Big Do They Get? Gorillas form part of a group of animals called primates. They are the largest species of primates. The males are often twice as big as the females. The males grow to around 5.5 feet (about 1.7m) tall and weigh around 400 pounds (about 181kg). They are clearly not meant to be messed with! The females grow to 4.5 feet (about 1.4m) tall and weigh around 200 pounds (about 91kg).

What do Gorillas Look Like? They have long arms, even longer than their legs! They use their long arms to “knuckle-walk”. This is where they use the knuckles on their hands to walk on all fours. Cool! They are mostly covered with brown hair. Gorillas from different areas may have different coloured hair. For example, the western gorilla has the lightest hair and the mountain gorilla has the darkest. The western lowland gorilla can also have greyish hair and a red coloured forehead. When male gorillas get older their hair turns white on their back. These older males are called Silverback gorillas. This disease, coupled with people hunting gorillas, has put both species in more danger of extinction. That’s not cool at all. Imagine the world without these knuckling walking beauties?

Fun Facts About Gorillas

Gorillas have hands and feet like humans including thumbs and big toes. Cool! Some gorillas in captivity have learned to use sign language to communicate with humans. Now that would be awesome to be able to have a good old chat to a gorilla. Gorillas live in small groups called troops or bands. In each troop there is one dominant male Silverback, some female gorillas, and their babies. Gorillas live to around 35 years. They can live longer, up to 50 years, in captivity. They sleep at night in nests. Baby gorillas will stay in their mother’s nests until they are around 2 ½ years old. Gorillas are generally calm and passive animals, however, the Silverback will defend his troop if he feels threatened. Don’t mess with the Silverback! They are highly intelligent and have now been observed using tools in the wild.
