THAT PESKY RAT - Year 2 Language and Literacy Teaching Pack

This pack is based on a book filled with humour, language play and different fonts that children readily respond to,  has a focus on teaching and learning in relation to:

  • writing character sketches and imaginative "wanted" notices; 
  • exploring alliteration and descriptive comparisons;
  • writing a fictitious report.

You get:

THAT PESKY RAT, Lauren Child (Pub. Orchard Books) - Sometimes when Rat is tucking into his crisp packet, he looks up at all the cosy windows and wonders what it would be like to live with creature comforts; to belong to somebody and to be an actual pet. A charming story with a hilarious twist and the inimitable stylish illustrations of Lauren Child. (very good, used condition paperback).

LESSON PLANS - based on the book, referenced to learning objectives for Year 2 from English Curriculum 2014 and with differentiated group activities (new).

PUPIL WORKSHEETS - to support and reinforce the teaching and learning addressed in the lesson plans (new).
