“Come ON, Flora,” Arthur said. “Let’s play jumping.”

“Ssssh!” Flora mumbled. “It’s bedtime. Time to go to sleep.”

10

G3_Volume_C.indb 10 27/07/13 12:20 PM

The butterfl ies weren’t sleeping, the bees were busy

buzzing and the grasshoppers were jumping all over

the place.

“I don’t want to go to sleep,” grumbled Arthur.

Arthur gazed up at the clouds.

The more he gazed, the more funny shapes he saw.

Then he started feeling very light.

Slowly, he started going up and up and UP.

13

G3_Volume_C.indb 13 27/07/13 12:20 PM

Soon he met a hippo.

“Where do you want to go?” the hippo asked.

“I want to go where no one goes to sleep,” Arthur said.

And off they fl ew.

“This is your stop,” said the hippo.

A ladybird was waiting for Arthur.

“Come with me,” said the ladybird. “But don’t forget.

No sleeping!”

17

G3_Volume_C.indb 17 27/07/13 12:20 PM

Soon they arrived at a party.

What a party!

“It’s time for the Amazing Crazylegs Dancing

G3_Volume_C.indb 23 27/07/13 12:20 PM

The grasshopper said, “… and the winner is ...

ARTHUR! Do another dance, Arthur!”

But Arthur was very sleepy.

“I have to go now,” he said. “I’ve got to tell Flora

that there’s a place where no one goes to sleep.”

Ideas for reading

Getting started

• Introduce the story to the children by sharing the cover. Discuss the question –

Where could Arthur go?

• Read the title together and ask the children to share their own experiences of

not being able or willing to sleep. How does it feel when this happens? Explain that

Arthur, the main character in this story, feels grumpy about it.

• Read up to and including p11 where Arthur grumbles his speech. Experiment

with reading this aloud with good expression and characterisation, paying

attention to the punctuation.

• Skim through the pages up to p29, and ask the children to follow what is

happening in the pictures, and how Arthur is feeling at each point.

Reading and responding

• Ask the children to read independently and quietly to p29. Observe their

progress and praise good expression and intonation.

• Before turning each page, ask the children to predict what might happen next.

As the story progresses, can they predict how it might end?

• Encourage the children to attempt tricky words by breaking them up into

manageable parts (e.g a-ma-zing).

• Help the children to identify speech, and to attempt different voices for each

character.

46

G3_Volume_C.indb 46 27/07/13 12:21 PM

Returning to the book

• Ask the children to select favourite parts of the book and read them aloud with

expression. Praise good phrasing and ask others to comment on the effect of

punctuation when reading aloud.

• Investigate any tricky words that have emerged, and prompt and praise use of

different strategies to decode them.

• Give the children an opportunity to talk about what happened at the end. Why do you think Arthur had forgotten all about his adventure?

Checking and moving on

• In pairs, children read the story aloud with good intonation and expression and

record themselves.

• Ask the children to design a poster for the Crazylegs dance competition.

Come to the Crazylegs Dance Competition!

9th March, 7 o’clock.

Compete against

beetles, grasshop-

pers, sheep and lady-

birds!

Try skipping, hoppingand twirling.

Winner will dance onstage with the band.
