THE PENNY WALK

Looking at the title of the story, what do you think the story is about?

I think the story is about a penny falling from the sky.

I think the story is about two little girls finding a penny  

Referring only to the images on the first page, how do they support the title of the story?

that they fien a penny and they play a game called the penny walk

What was the idea of the “penny walk”?

by flicking up a penny and choosing heads or tails. heads was right and tails was left.   

Where was Louisa hoping the coin might lead them to? Why do you think she was hoping for these two places?

louisa wondered if the coin might lead them past the ice cream shop or maybe the playground

From the two places Louisa was hoping the coin might lead her and Hazel to, how old do you think the two girls are? Why do you think they are this age?

maybe they're the same age because hazel looks like the same like louisa

For what reason are you not supposed to look a Bull in the eye?

because the bull maybe will try and push them over with his horn

Where do you think the coin tossing and “penny walk” will take the two girls?

to a bad place and a place that they don't know and a place that they have never been to

Do you think what they are doing is a sensible idea/ why /why not?

it is a bad idea because the game may hurt them and it might take them to a bad place that don’t know

What do you think will next happen in the story? Make a prediction?

I think that they might end up in a bad place and they might end up being lost.
