Year 4 (optional for Year 3):
Read Chapter 2 together
- Discuss any new/interesting vocabulary that you encounter. Use a dictionary/thesaurus/https://www.wordhippo.com/ to find the meanings and some synonyms.
- Draw a picture of all of the Yetis and name them. What do you think they all might look like? Think about size and any characteristics that you can gather from the text, e.g. Yetis have snubnoses.

Table 2 (optional for Year 3):
- Return to the theme of Henry’s birthday party from yesterday.

- Imagine you are Henry’s Mum. Write a list of all the party food Mum would like to buy. Continue to add more items than those mentioned in the clip.
- Now imagine that you are Henry. Write a list of all the party food that Henry would like to buy. Add some more items to this list too! Remember to use commas to separate all the items on your list!
- Later on, (5:10 mins) Dad says, ‘I know lots of good games.’ Make a list of all the party games that could be played at Henry’s party. Talk about how Henry might spoil each one.
- Watch to the end of the story.
