Personal Social and Emotional Development

In the story, the characters all worked together andhelped each other to pull up the turnip. Can yourchild think of a time when they helped someone?How

didthey feel? You could also talk about people who helpus and ways we can help each other at school and athome.

Talk about how, in the story, the last character to helppull up the Enormous Turnip was the little mouse.Even though the mouse was very small, it was stillable to help and make a big difference. Talk abouthow even little things can make a big difference.

Highlight that often something as small as a mousedoesn’t seem like it is very important. There might be people the children think can’t do something because of the way they look or walk or talk but everyone matters and everyone is important. If we all work together we can achieve great things.

The children could order them from smallest to largest. Look at the weight, compare and measure.

Ask the children if they have seen any of the foods before and if they know what they are. Explain that they are all different kinds of vegetables and ask if the children know what they are called and how they grow. Explain that some of the vegetables grow in the ground, just like the turnip.

Ask:What can you remember about the vegetable in the story? Do you know any other vegetables that grow in the ground?Do you know the names of any of these vegetables?What does it look/smell/feel like?How do we use knives safely?
