Year 3: January 2021

Today's short story is called Nigel Nit-Boy! I hated having nits as a little girl as they make your head itch! But Nigel wanted all the nits in the World on his head! I wonder why... Watch the video to find out!

Can you answer these questions?

What was Nigel's first nit called?
Who did Nigel steal nits from?
How did Nigel make the cat stay on his head?
What was Nigel's cape made out of?
Tell me 2 people Nit-Boy attacked

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - If your head gets itchy, get someone you live with to look in your hair. If they spot any nits then you can get some nit shampoo from the doctors or the pharmacy to get rid of them!
