The children in Mr longley’s reading group this week started reading a new text linked to the expedition, Ready, Steady, Grow: How can I be the healthiest version of me?
The text is called The Great Food Bank Heist by the amazing author Onjali Q. Rauf.
Chapter 1 is below if you would like to read the first chapter.
Some questions you might want to ask:
- What does the word heist mean?
- Who are the main characters?
- How do we know how old the characters are?
- Where might the story be set and how do we know?
- What is mum’s job? Does it pay well?
- What problem do the characters have in the story? How does it make them feel?
- Why does Nelson want to save food for his mum?
