This freely downloadable activity provides a historical account of Rosa Parks and the impact she had on the American civil rights movement in the 1960s. It also provides five questions to check the child’s comprehension on the material they have just read.

This activity provides a look at ten unique birds, both in the form of close-up photos and as a brief description each one. The text provides one or two facts about each bird and in some cases “word rhymes” were used to try to fix the name of the bird in the child’s mind (i.e. people might “gawk” at the “auk”.)

In this activity the children are told that we don’t know the names of the animals presented on the pages. They are asked to make up a name for each animal and give the reasons why they are naming it.

Given the cut back on musical programs in lots of schools, we thought we would provide children with a picture and a short video of six instruments and let them research and write, potentially about the various instruments, their origins, the way they are played (bow, fingers, hammers/mallets etc) and the various sounds they make.

“Monsters Under My Bed” is an original poem/book developed in the Learning Magic Electronic Storybook template. The poem was written by Byron and the artwork/illustration was done by Ann.
