I wrote this poem to accompany the busy spring/Easter scene picture.

The poem starts with:

Spring is here. The sun is out.
The Easter Bunny is hopping about.

The poem depicts how we typically portray spring and Easter time to young children. It also includes some of your favourite characters from my rhyming picture book series 'Read and Rhyme with Brown Owl'.

I would introduce the poem with lots of actions to aid comprehension. I will be creating an Instagram reel to show you how I would do it.

I would then read it a second time and see if the children can find where each verse occurs in the picture.

There are gap fill worksheets and a cut & stick activity too.

I have included a full-colour and black and white version of the full illustration.

Story Walk

The story walk uses the same language and illustrations as the poem. Once the children are familiar with the vocabulary, they read the words/sentences on their worksheet, find the corresponding picture hidden in the classroom, write down the letter on it and then work out the hidden message.

I also have included a page of teacher's tips with further ideas.

I hope you have fun learning English with Brown Owl!
