Get this poster and print it out – whether it’s to decorate your bedroom, a classroom or a bookshop! It can be printed up to A2, but will also work just fine A3, or even A4. Your Year 1 / Year 2 class will read the passage or sentences and use the adjectives from the word bank to complete them. This book is about a pixie named the Truth Pixie her name is that because her aunt casted a magic spell over her so she could only say the truth . When somebody asked her something she always said the truth and that made people sad . So the Truth Pixie was always sad . One day she was walking through the road and a troll came past and he wanted to eat the pixie but she was too bad to eat .

We don't get to know much about how these three children have lost their mother, but it's clear that they've been overcome with grief and also have a bit of separation anxiety from their father as a result of their loss. (Consider the scene when they desperately make sure that Nikolas will reunite with his own dad in the Christmas tale before Aunt Ruth goes any further. Gulp!) Wisely, Ruth's story doesn't dwell too much on the details of Nikolas' mother's demise, but instead, it includes a lot of details about how much everyone loves and misses her. Her impact on Elfhelm is immense, and she even makes the meanie "Mother" elf happy and sappy. Your Ks1 class will also circle words that they feel describe the Truth Pixie at this early stage of the story. Then the troll got really angry and threw the pixie away . she ended up in the town in a little house .Your class will read the passage from the story and try to find the phonics sounds within the words.

This resource helps your Year 1 / Year 2 class punctuate their sentences by adding in capital letters and full stops.
