Owls ppt lesson adaptable for KS1 and 2.

Owls ppt lesson adaptable for KS1 and 2. This is a complete lesson which can be edited or broken into a series of shorter lessons. There are talk partner activities throughout the lesson and three supporting pupil worksheets. In addition, I have included some writing frames with owl borders and 3 colouring sheets. There are links to clips of owls and audio of a Tawny owl. Each slide has colourful and realistic pictures of owls to help pupils appreciate their colour, shapes and sizes.
Links well with topics on ‘Animals’, ‘Birds’, ‘New life’, ‘Life cycles’, ‘Spring’, ‘Flight’, ‘Habitats’, ‘Trees and woodlands.’
