Ask students to predict what the boy and his grandmother are going to do with the red seed pods they picked. You can tell them that the characters are picking rosehips and share the recipe at the back of the book. Read the recipe together.
Make tea or a drink with the class. Then create success criteria based on the essential elements of a recipe. Do a shared writing activity as a class, creating your own recipe to follow for a drink. This can be extended to other recipes and individual writing opportunities.
