Knowing What We Know Now (The Elf Story)

Simon Armitage - Knowing What We Know Now - Video Dailymotion



Here is a link to the elf story we looked at in class today.  The name of the actual story is 'Knowing What We Know Now' and was written by Simon Armitage and here he gives you a reading of the original version.  This version will be more difficult to understand as it has many low frequency words which you will NOT have come across before.  Don't worry though.   You already know the story so give it a listen and see how much you understand.

Super Chill Monkey



Can you remember everything this orangutan (not monkey) does on his way to a Hollywood audition?

Do you think he got the job?
