"The Gruffalo" with year 3 24.01.13

Yesterday I watched the film "The Gruffalo" with both classes of my year 3. This film is about a mouse that looks for some nuts in a wood and he finds lots of animals who want to eat him. The mouse invents a monster to scare the animals and finally, the monster called Gruffalo, becomes true. Will the Gruffalo eat the mouse at the end of the story?

Before watching the film, I explained the kids what was it about and I told them to pay attention to all the animals that appeared in the video. I saw children really interested in the story and they enjoyed the plot. When the film ended, I asked them which animals they had seen and how the Gruffalo looked like.

With this activity we worked on the animals' vocabulary and parts of the body. I think that kids loved the film because it's addressed to this age children so I want to use it with my future students.
