In your yellow books, draft a few ideas from talking to your grown-ups for a newspaper article about a tiger who has escaped from the zoo and eaten all the food in Sophie's house. Below is a voice clip of Miss Martin reading the newspaper article again to you so you can follow along and a video of the Tiger who came to tea story to give you some ideas.
