Explore the forest with 'A Monster Surprise', a Twinkl Original

This fun monster story is perfect for KS1 students.

The book follows some woodland animals who all discover their food is missing. Determined to solve the mystery, they eventually learn that the culprit is a monster! But, they soon realise that the scary monster is actually just trying to make friends.

Use the book to spark discussion about how we make friends and whether the animals or the monster were doing the right thing.

Take a look at the full range of additional resources to support this story.

How can I use A Monster Surprise original story in my KS1 class?

This rhyming storybook can be used to explore rhythm, rhyme or poetry. Can the children spot the rhyming words?

You can also explore character descriptions and children can use their imaginations to invent their own monsters!

Why not challenge children to use expanded noun phrases to describe a monster?

Set in Scotland, the book can also be used as a starting point for finding out more about British wildlife or forests.

Use the book as an introduction to finding out more about Scotland in your geography lessons and explore living things and their habitats in your science lessons.

This is one of my favorite self portrait ideas for elementary students, which helps them draw a face a face that fills the paper.

Students can get some practice drawing faces with the right proportion by starting with a glasses template, which is included on page 2 of the download.

Be sure to point out to them that the face needs to look smaller than the rims, and not larger. In other words, the temples should not be seen, otherwise it will look like they just don't fit very well. Students that start by drawing one complete oval all the way around the glasses will have what I used to call a "Charlie Brown" head, and it will look out of proportion until they correct it. (Spoken from experience.)
