Year 5 English Activity Booklet – 'Winter in the Village' (Heidi)

Year 5EnglishActivity booklet10 pages

An English activity booklet centred on 'Winter in the Village', an extract from Johanna Spyri's classic novel Heidi. Children read a rich, descriptive passage and then complete reading and vocabulary activities based on it – great for building stamina with older, more challenging language.

What it covers

  • Reading a longer classic fiction extract
  • Comprehension: retrieval, inference and vocabulary
  • Exploring descriptive language and setting

Who it's for

Year 5 children (age 9–10); also suits strong Year 4 readers.

How to use it

Read the extract together first, discussing unfamiliar words, then let your child try the activities independently.
