We loved reading this novel by Jill Tomlinson. The class loved Plop, the cute owl with big eyes and knackety knees.
As a class we did lots of learning and activities to do with the story. The class wrote about Plop, did a book report about their favourite part – most picked him falling off the tree! We improved our scissor skills with cutting out triangles to make a hedgehog (which we discovered can climb!).
Playing outdoors I asked the class to make nests for birds which they worked so hard on – one groups also had space for a hedgehog too!
Finally we made stars as the book is all about the dark and we used to tinfoil to make the words for what dark is. We finished with a draw along with the illustrator Paul Howard. They turned out great.
A super book!
