Stories Colouring Page Year 1 | Free English Resource | BookFlik

Spark your students’ imaginations with our delightful English stories colouring page year 1 core resource. This printable activity features Pip the bookworm caterpillar as he discovers a magical storybook in a sunny garden. Designed specifically for Year 1 pupils, this resource bridges the gap between creative art and literacy, helping children to engage with narrative structures in a fun, tactile way.

As children colour, they are encouraged to think about the characters, settings, and events they have encountered in their own reading. This English stories colouring page year 1 core resource is perfectly aligned with the Australian Curriculum (ACARA), which asks pupils to develop pleasure in reading and discuss the books they read. By visualising a story scene, students build the foundational skills needed to describe characters and settings in their own writing tasks.

Teachers can use this sheet as a creative starter for a literacy lesson, a calming activity during independent reading time, or as a prompt for a class discussion. Ask your pupils to imagine what story Pip is reading and what might happen next. This English stories colouring page year 1 core resource includes five thoughtful questions to extend learning:

1. Who is the main character in this picture?

2. Can you describe where Pip is sitting?

3. If you were writing a story about Pip, what would he find inside his book?

4. What colours would you use to make the garden look bright and cheerful?

5. Can you write one sentence about what is happening in the picture?

This worksheet is pitched at the expected standard for Year 1, ensuring it is accessible yet challenging enough to spark meaningful conversation. Whether used for a rainy afternoon or a dedicated English session, our BookFlik characters bring joy and curiosity into every classroom. Download this resource today to help your class explore the wonderful world of stories.
