Your class must complete the sentences by adding in the words or the pictures to complete the sentences. Jonny Duddle beautifully sums this up himself in his dedications “….and don’t listen to Boneheads!” All we’ve heard about for at least the last decade is The Gruffalo (I know it was first published in 1999, but as with most things it took numerous years to become a household word). It certainly is an outstanding children’s book in its own right. Having a small boy (our very own Gruffalo’s Child), my husband and I can confidently recite the book from cover to cover (as can our son, an avid reader who has already loved several copies to death).

Despite everything happening in the world some occasions will always make things better and one of those is World Book Day, arguably the best day of the year!In holiday accommodation and read to children, but have a feeling I've read this before at either library or a bookshop. And then it turns out he wasn't eaten after all and he learned his lesson. I don't know what lesson it was supposed to be. Three cute dinosaurs and one ugly dinosaur subtly named Bonehead are warned by their parents to avoid the Gigantosaurus. Bedtime stories go bonkers in this inventive, subversive version of a traditionally restful night-time tale. Funny illustrations accompany the witty text.

We have created this PowerPoint presentation of 21 slides linked to Gigantosaurus which covers the full story with teaching notes and explores a range of factual elements about the story as well as whole class activities. Create a timeline that shows different periods of history (including the times when dinosaurs were alive). In season 3, our four heroes will discover the joys of sharing their daily life with their little brothers and sisters who are none other than the 4 baby dinos discovered in season 2. Even if it’s a lot of fun, it’s also a lot of responsibility!So if you have a child that loves being read to every night before bed, is dinosaur mad, and wants the same book over and over and over again, then this book won’t go extinct too soon! All young dinosaurs are warned about the scary Gigantosaurus. So Bonehead volunteers to be the dino-kids lookout. Unfortunately, he is the original boy-dinosaur who cried wolf, or in this case, Gigantosaurus! Finally, Bonehead's friends refuse to believe his warnings and the Gigantosaurus really turns up. The return of old favourites in a new adventure involving underpants. When Aliens meet Dinosaurs a rhyming riot must ensue! But it's not Gigantosaurus, just Bonehead's idea of a joke, and when he takes the joke a bit too far, he's the one on Gigantosaurus' lunch menu! I powered through, explaining what's going on along the way, soon realizing it's The Boy Who Cried Wolf retold in a nonsensical way.

In Season 1, our heroes made some awesome discoveries during their adventures and games around Cretacia: indestructible bubbles, yummy flowers, an amazing playground in a cave, a stream in the middle of the desert, a basketball court made of carnivorous plants, an aurora borealis, and more! World Book Day's mission is to offer every child and young person the opportunity to read and love books.An interactive PowerPoint based on the book by Jonny Duddle. A set of seven workshhets involving work on rhyme, capitalisation, writing questions, big/small vocabulary, sequencing words in muddled sentences, picture sequencing and caption writing.
