The Gruffalo Home Learning Page

After reading and watching the story, encourage your child to answer these questions:

Can you describe the Gruffalo?

What did he have on the end of his nose?

What colour were the prickles on his back?

What colour were the Gruffalo’s eyes?

What animals were in the story?

What is the Gruffalo’s favourite food?

Where did the fox live?

What did the fox say to the mouse?

Where did the mouse go for a walk?

Can your child draw a picture of their favourite character from the story?

They might like you to help them to write the names of the animals from the story. Perhaps they could have a go at writing the words themselves, you could write for them or how about making a video of your child writing. Your child could write about the Gruffalo and describe what he looked like. Send in your pictures and videos to homework@gillblowers.nurseryluton.com – we would love to see them and put some on the website for others to see.
