Here are some questions to ask your child about the story:

Questions to ask George:
How do you feel when you are left alone
with Grandma?
Why do you think Grandma is so grumpy all
the time?
Why do you think Grandma speaks to you
the way she does?
Why did you run into the kitchen and slam
the door?
If you could describe your Grandma in three
words, what would they be?

Questions to ask Grandma:
Why are you so grumpy all the time?
Why do you sit in that chair by the window?
Why do you say cruel things to George?
What is your medicine for?
If you could describe your grandson in three
words, what would they be?

Talk about the book with your child and discuss their answers. Encourage your child to write their answers in full sentences.

Tuesday

We have been learning about adjectives (describing words) in class. Look at these and circle the adjectives which could describe Grandma and underline the adjectives which could describe George:

Wednesday

Write a description of George. You could use some of the adjectives you sorted yesterday. Remember to start every sentence with a capital letter and a full stop.
