| What might the children hear and feel in this scene? |
I can see a family walking in a forest. There are lots of trees everywhere and it feels unsafe because wild animals like wolfs, bears and foxes might be living there.
ReplyDeleteI can see a family dad, mum sister and brother walking through the woods. There are loads of trees and they have holes in them. It is night and it looks scary because you can hear things but you cannot see anything.
ReplyDeleteI can see trees everywhere. Someone might be spying on them hiding at the back of a tree. Some of the trees have eyes.
ReplyDeleteI can see big scary trees and and I can see hansel and gretel feeling scared . And the evil mum will might leave the in the wood
ReplyDeleteYes, then what might happen to them Isaac?
DeleteI see the spooky trees and Hansel and Gretel evil step mum will leave them in the woods
ReplyDeleteThe trees are smiling
ReplyDeleteI wonder why Anthony Browne decided to illustrate the trees in this way, Nathan.
DeleteI think the little boy and girl are scared inside and they can run away but they are scared that there wicked mum will tell the to come back. And it true that the tree were smiling in the woods it is spooky.And in the stories i no that the mum is trying to trap the in the the woods
ReplyDeleteWell done for using your knowledge of the story to help you make observations about the picture, Issac. Can you think of any other adjectives which mean the same as spooky?
DeleteThe trees are spooky and hansel and gretel are worried
ReplyDeleteMelissa 11th September 2014 I think the trees look creepy and the children are feeling frightened and the boy is wondering where they are.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think the family are in the forest Melissa?
DeleteThey mite feel scared and lonely all bi there self .
ReplyDeleteI think they can here a ghost and some owls
ReplyDeleteWe think the dad is upset cause they have no money and food
ReplyDeleteI think the children would feel scared because they are in the middle of a deep dark forest. The can loads of trees everywhere. They might hear animals feet moving around. They might see a tree with a spooky face. It would make them jump.
ReplyDeleteExcellent ideas Emily. Forests can be spooky after dark. Have you ever been to a forest?
DeleteNo but I will love to visit there are we going on a trip to the forest ?
DeleteYes we got lost but we found are way back .
