sentences to describe the beginning, middle and end of this

text.

• Today we are going to read the same text as yesterday, entitled

‘All About Maui’.

• If you find the text challenging, ask a parent or older sibling to

help you read it.

• On the slides following are comprehension questions. They are

split into three sections, A, B and C (challenge).

• You should all work through sections A and B and record your

answers in your book, then, for those who wish, there is the

challenge section to extend your thinking and to challenge you.

• Remember to write as full sentences, therefore you don’t need to

write the question out too.
