Sports day
Lorraine Horsley
- Reading
- Try reading a short section together, pausing to let your child predict what happens in a race or spot a repeated word. Follow their interest rather than turning it into a test.
- Themes
- Taking part and winning: Peppa enjoys Sports Day but is not very good at paying attention during her races; whether she and George win anything is posed as an open question. The premise sets up participation and race results, but does not establish how the story evaluates winning or the characters’ attention.
- Worth knowing
- Peppa is described as having difficulty paying attention during races. The reason for this and how it affects her are not established.
