What do you call a jumbo jet before it’s painted? The answer to this riddle (which you will find near the bottom of this page) is a pair of homophones. Children love solving riddles and also creating their own. This material can be used across KS1 – KS3 to both introduce the concept of homophones to younger children and for re-visiting it in subsequent years to consolidate the children’s knowledge. This resource is intended to foster youngster’s confidence and skill in navigating the quirks of English spelling by making it a game to engage with, rather than a problem to worry about. In the PowerPoint presentation the children are introduced to an alien creature called Korb who lives on the far away planet of SPaG. Korb explains to the children what a homophone is and then shows them how they can create teasing riddles. The answer to each riddle is always a pair of homophone words. Look out for another Goodeyedeers resource called ‘Homophone Riddle-Poems’ where you will meet Korb’s alien friend, Riya. The answer to the riddle at the top of this page is – a plain plane!

Welcome to the Dinosaurus, complete and in order, from Allosaurus to Zephyrosaurus – and one for each letter of the alphabet in between. For each of 26 pre-historic monsters there’s a poem – appropriately a reworking of an old, traditional rhyme. The rhymes are displayed and read aloud by their creator, children’s writer David Horner, and each is accompanied by a vivid, full-colour illustration created from the ever fertile imagination of artist Anne Hodgkiss. Each poem and illustration is followed by the rhyme’s original version. Also included is a Timeline, showing the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods, marked with letters of the alphabet, to show just when each of the 26 chosen dinosaurs lived. A click on any letter will take the reader straight to the chosen dinosaur. Alternatively, readers can turn the pages of this audio e-book, taking each letter in turn, in a unique celebration of the dinosaur, the whole forming an invaluable addition to the classroom materials on these long-lost masters of the earth.

Even More Dinosaurs, Facts, Fun and a Touch of Creative Writing is a PowerPoint presentation with a wealth of hidden gems. It can be used as a lesson to discuss dinosaurs, linked with some unique pictures and poems. It also introduces the children to the fascinating syllabic poetic form called 'Cinquain'. David Horner, the celebrated children’s poet, has written a rhyme to go with each of the nine dinosaurs celebrated here. Each rhyme has been modelled on a traditional nursery rhyme - can you guess which ones? The wonderfully unique and stunning illustrations were drawn and painted by his long time collaborator Anne Hodgkiss. As well as the wonderful rhymes and brilliant illustrations there are facts about each of our dinosaurs in the ‘Dinosaurus Factosaurus’ section. We finish the presentation with a short video showing the children how they might create some Cinquain poems about these dinosaurs and what we know about them.
