Rosie’s Walk Activities Discussion questions: How do you think Rosie would feel if she knew the fox was following her? What happened to the fox after he finished following Rosie? Did he get away from the bees? What do you think Rosie have for dinner? Do you think Rosie goes walking every day? I-Spy: Play ‘I Spy’ or ‘Can you find…’ with the pages of the book. Use the first letter or rhyming words. For example, on the second page, ‘I spy with my little eye, something beginning with R and sounds like snake’. Role-Play: Set up a farmyard using Lego and different props. Move Rosie and the fox around the farmyard on a walk. Art: Draw a picture of other things you might see on a farm. Write the names underneath and ask the child to try to write the word too. You may find these flashcards useful. Outside: Go for a Rosie’s Walk at the playground. Use flashcards to act as prompts e.g under the climbing frame, around the sandpit, through the swings etc. Prepositions: Take children outside to the playground. Give each pair of students a card with one of the prepositions on it and a piece of tape. Have the students look at the playground and ask them to think about where they could use their preposition. Where can you go around, across, over, under, past, or through? Have the children tape their preposition to that place. Then walk around the playground together and ask everyone to follow the instructions i.e. under the climbing frame, through the tunnel and around the shed. The Fox and the Hen: Put the children into pairs and assign one partner to be the fox and the other partner to be the hen. On the count of 3, the foxes chase the hens around the playground. Play for a few minutes then switch roles so that the foxes become the hens and the hens become the foxes. Seasons: Talk to the children about how the story would be if it was set at a different time of year. What if the story took place during the winter? What would you see? How would the story be different? Storyboards: Using these writing frames, ask the children to write their own words to the story for each scene. For younger children, write the story boards together as a class. Maps: Ask the children to draw a map of all the places that Rosie visits around the farm i.e. the hen house, the pond, the hay stack, the mill and the bee hives. Time: Read through the story and write down all the things that happen to Rosie on her walk through the farm. Then ask the children to make a timeline of all the events.
