We loved reading this novel by Jill Tomlinson.\u00a0 The class loved Plop, the cute owl with big eyes and knackety knees.<\/p>\n

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!\u00a0 We improved our scissor skills with cutting out triangles to make a hedgehog (which we discovered can climb!).<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 We finished with a draw along with the illustrator Paul Howard.\u00a0 They turned out great.<\/p>\n

A super book!<\/p>\n
