Product Information

Suitable for ages 5 to 7, you'll find engaging, differentiated worksheets and a whole range of activities that you can use effectively in your classroom. Lots of children are afraid of the dark, but this story is great for teaching children that the dark isn't so scary after all. It could even be used at home, as well as at school. It could be a lovely warm and helpful read for children scared of the dark, but for any child, animal books are a hit, and to read about an owl being afraid of his natural environment is a novel idea and intriguing.

Whether you want to find out more about owls with the fact file sheet and owl life cycle activity or do some focused reading tasks, you can target your activities to the areas that your children need to develop most. Write a report about owls. What is their habitat? What do they eat? What special abilities do they have? This was the first class novel I used when I started my teaching career with a Y1 class in 1990 - the edition I have was published by Puffin in 1973 but the first edition was released in 1968 so it’s 50 years old... but I think it’s a classic that would be welcomed and loved by Y1 children today.Filled with gentle humour and comfort, Jill Tomlinson's animal stories have been enjoyed by children who want to snuggle down with a good read for decades. This edition of The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark is beautifully illustrated by Paul Howard. About This Edition ISBN: Plop makes an ‘EEEEEEEK’ sound for the young lady. Think about the different noises that animals make. How do they use these to communicate with each other? Describing fireworks: In the story, fireworks are described as 'a fountain of dancing stars sprang up from the ground'. How would you describe your favourite firework? Plop the baby Barn Owl is gorgeous and the other characters are beautifully written - his patient and long-suffering parents especially!

Thinking of adjectives: Plop is described as being 'soft', 'fluffy' and 'fat'. Can you think of any synonyms for these words?What's more, because all of the activities are based on a popular book, you can be sure that your children will stay interested and engaged. This will boost their learning experience and help them to do well. sa de a percepe frumusețea întunericului dispare pe parcurs, el fiind ajutat de o serie de personaje auxiliare care, rând pe rând, îi prezintă diversele minunății care fac nopțile speciale: focurile de artificii, sclipirea stelelor, fulgerele nopții, putința de a te ascunde, de a medita, apariția lui Moș Crăciun, etc.
