The Terrible Tiger

Today in reading Fin, Mason and Ben read the book "The Terrible Tiger".

We read the book together and then talked about the beginning, the middle and the end of the story.

Ben, Fin and Mason decided the beginning of the story is about finding the tiger.
The middle of the story is seeing a monkey, seeing a bird and then seeing a snake that is the terrible tiger. At the end the children run home and tell Mum they aren't scared of anything.

Then Fin, Ben and Mason took photos showing them acting out the beginning, middle and end of the story, "The Terrible Tiger".
