Owl Babies is a winner!

Georgia K was very excited that her Dad saw an owl recently. Running with this interest in owls, we used two books to explore the structure of narratives. 'Owl Babies' by Martin Waddell is the perfect book to use because of its simple but touching storyline. There are also several lesson plans available on the internet (see TES Connect) as well as a great reading on YouTube.

'Billywise', by Judith Nicholl, is a magical book about a young owl's glorious first flight. The vocabulary in Billywise is so powerful and lyrical, we were inspired to write a diamante-like poem on owls too.

Owls

swoop, dive

down, hoot, stare

screech, drink, eat, nocturnal

fluffy, eyes glow

glide, strong
