We're Going on a Pumpkin Hunt EY

VIEW IN EDSHED

Three children are hunting for the perfect pumpkin to take trick or treating. But first, they ve got to get through the sticky spiders webs, the flapping bats, and then worst of all enter a spooky HAUNTED HOUSE! Will they find a great big pumpkin there . . . or the biggest surprise of the night?

This Halloween-themed story has zingy neon ink on the cover and throughout, and is filled with cute characters and spooky surprises! Repeated phrases and sound words make this an interactive picture book, great for sharing with the whole family.

Understanding the Planning

 What are the ELR plans and resources?

 ELR stands for Early Literacy Resources

These plans have been created with the steps of Development Matters in mind and focus on the pre-early Learning Goal skills.

The ELR plans and resources on the Literacy Shed Plus website tend to focus on all Areas of Development but particularly Communication and language (with the development of vocabulary being at the centre), Physical Development (gross and fine motor skills), and some Literacy—for those children able to access simple writing activities. These plans also include ideas for enhancing the provision linked to each lesson.

These are the plans to download and use if your children are not yet at the stage of writing simple captions and sentences but need further support with verbalising sentences, utilising vocabulary and developing motor skills ready for focused mark-making.
