Using these images, can you predict what might happen in this video? What do you notice about the boy in the first image? How do you think his feelings change? Where do you think this creature takes him?

I imagine… I think the boy is… I can tell that… I predict this creature… I bet they go…

Challenge: Inverted commas for direct speech. What do you think the boy might say at the start of this video?

2 This creature is called a chameleon. A chameleon is a small slow-moving Old World lizard with a long extensible tongue and eyes that rotate independently. It also has the ability to change colour.

Using these images, describe the charmeleon.

Think about its eyes, body, tail and tongue.

How does it move? What does its skin feel like? What kind of personality does it have? Is it kind? What does it like doing?

Challenge: Can you write speech bubbles coming from the chameleon about what he might say or what he might think?
