Notice how the pictures are illustrated. There are lines, patterns and shapes on the different characters and the environment.

Inquiry Invitation #1

• You might want to act out the story using your own animals or props. You can even use boxes, cushions and blankets and any other suitable props to create a farmyard to go on your own walk. You can go across, around, over, past, through, and under. Your own story can be in a different place such as a forest, an island or even a city. You might want to act out your story in the park or on the playground!  

Inquiry Invitation #2

Rosie loves to go for a walk across the farmyard. Here is a map to help her on her way.

We would love to hear about your adventures, see your maps and creations!
