Key questions: Closed o Why does Ronnie want to get his Grandma a present? o Where do Alisha and Ronnie go to get the present? o What were the green fruit and vegetables Alisha suggested?

Open o What other colourful presents could Ronnie have got his Grandma? o What other colours of fruit and vegetables could have been included in the basket?

Own experience o Have you ever chosen a present for someone? o What did you get and why?

The colourful present activity ideas To support different aspects of the story, a range of cross curricular resources have been developed. These are in addition to the PowerPoint presentation and the video of the story. The resources can be used as stand-alone materials, or combined together to support a longer unit of work. The choice is yours.

You may wish to download all the materials and upload them to your school VLE.

All the resources below (unless stated) have been provided in Microsoft WORD format, allowing you the flexibility to adapt the worksheets to better suit the needs of the children you teach. In addition, resources marked with a star * are also available as Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) files. Curricula links
