This worksheet provides the opportunity for children to visualise the setting described at the beginning of the book Varjak Paw. It is a chance to focus on the language used and to consider what they know for certain but also what they may have inferred. This can lead to discussions about what in the text has led them to include these elements. Challenge the children to think about what they may have written had they composed the description.

We've also included a version of this worksheet on our teaching PowerPoint and this can be completed as a whole class activity to save on printing.
