We are learning about...
our continued geography based study theme, 'Land, Sea and Sky', as we explore the text, 'The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark' by Jill Tomlinson.
Plop, the Baby Barn Owl, is like every Barn Owl there ever was, except for one thing - he is afraid of the dark. "Dark is nasty" he says and so he won't go hunting with his parents. Mrs Barn Owl sends him down from his nest-hole to ask about the dark and he meets a little boy waiting for the fireworks to begin, an old lady, a scout out camping, a girl who tells him about Father Christmas, a man with a telescope and a black cat who takes him exploring. He realizes that through these encounters that dark is super after all.
This inspirational book will hook us into writing non-chronological reports about owls.
We will continue to be enthused as we delve into all the other areas of our connected curriculum. For more information please take a look at our study theme web and knowledge organisers, which can be found below.
