Books to Share
- Share The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark with its beautiful illustrations.
- Read the story with children joining in with the ‘Dark is…’ sentences.. Discuss the different things that were enjoyable in the dark. Have children been to a firework display, looked at stars, sat round a camp fire, etc?
- Read All About Animals in Winter, another information book. Point out contents page, index and glossary. Which words do we know the meaning of? What have we found out from reading this book? Can anyone tell us a fact?
- Reread All About Animals in Winter. Can children act out the actions of the different animals as you read the text? You may need some extra space for this!
