Our focus this week is all about being wise and brave. There are times when we

might be afraid of something but then realize that if we are wise, we can

overcome that fear. Our book this week is The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. This

story tells the tale of a wise mouse that should be afraid of predators in the

woods, but he uses his wisdom and cleverness to trick them. The mouse is

surprised when his cleverness almost backfires! Throughout the week we will be

discussing ways in which we can be wise and brave!

The Gruffalo has been made into a short film that can be found on Amazon Prime. 

Here is the read aloud:
