Harriet’s Art Folder: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 4. 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.

hinge: A joint that allows one part to fold or turn.
reinforced: Made stronger with extra material.
overlap: Cover part of something else.
crease: A line made when paper is folded or bent.
sample: Something used to try or show an idea.

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

Prototype a small art folder with scrap paper. Compare a loose cover, a hinge and corner pockets. Ask another person to insert and remove a sheet.
