Ask - how is the girl feeling? What makes you think that? What might she be doing?
Pause just before 1 minute - how has the girl's feelings changed? Why do you think that is? What might she have lost? What could she do now that may help?
Pause again at 1.42 - Has the girl's feelings changed even more now? Why do you think that maybe?
Once the giraffe appears - are you shocked why? What did you expect? How does the girl feel now?

Mrs Davenport's notes about the video
Written Task
We are going to begin to turn the video into a story.
Today we will focus on the first minute of the video – using the bullet points above.
We are going to pretend we are the little girl in the video, so we will be using the pronoun ‘I’ instead of ‘she’ in our story.
Use the adverbs below to add description to your writing.
If you would like to photograph your work and email it to me I will add it to this page for your friends to read.

Thankfulness Jar
To create a thankfulness jar you need a jar or container. Each day try to find one thing that you appreciate or are thankful for, jot it down onto a piece of paper, and add it in the jar. Each Friday open your jar and remember all of the things you have been thankful for.
