A Powerpoint of The Owl and The Pussycat.

This romantic nonsense by Edward Lear is a classic of children’s literature. Its lilting rhythm has a wonderfully calming effect on the senses.

The questions are just from the first verse of the famous poem. I have also provided the poem with two warm up questions and a fun starter for the input. The starter gives the children the answer so they must work out what the question could be. An extension is to make up their own questions about the poem. I have attached Word versions to allow for editing. You can print the poem extract from the input I have attached so children have a copy of the poem on their tables.
