Charlie’s Shared Wall: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 3. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Children can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; children do not need to read independently.

Vocabulary

Read these five words from the story. Talk about what they mean.

mural: A large picture made for a wall.
neighbourhood: The area around where people live.
pavement: A path beside a road for people to walk on.
welcoming: Making people feel that they may come and belong.
section: One part of a larger thing.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Plan a shared place with different contributors. Try loose shapes before fixing them down. Pause to view the whole work, ask how the parts connect and agree changes respectfully.
