Extension Activities - Mr Zilot's Private Zoo - Phonic Pack 5

June 30th 2008 05:55
Tutor Note: These pages are not numbered because they will not be included in the child's Phonic Book 5.

Extension Activities for 'Mr Zilot's Private Zoo' - (page 1 of 5)

Note to tutor for Lesson 8 – ‘Mr Zilot’s Private Zoo’: Extension Activities:
a) Visit your local zoo.
b) Divide the class into small groups to discuss what exhibits Mr Zilot may have at his zoo. What environment would each exhibit need? What sort of enclosures would Mr Zilot need to provide for each one? Discuss the exhibits mentioned in ‘Mr Zilot’s Private Zoo’. What enclosures do you think he has provided for them?
c) Draw a map of Mr Zilot’s Zoo. Use the clues mentioned in ‘Mr Zilot’s Private Zoo’ and include other exhibits you think he would have in his zoo. (Could develop into a Technology and Enterprise project.)
d) How many people do you think would need to work at Mr Zilot’s zoo. What would each one’s special job be?
e) Write a letter to Mr Zilot thanking him for letting you visit his zoo.


f) Another excellent extension activity which integrates activities into Writing and Science Learning Areas is to ask the children to write a report about an animal, bird or insect (or eventually all three). You may limit the choice to animals and birds found in zoos; or endangered species; or your state, territories or countries flora and fauna emblems; or farm animals – the list is endless so you can choose the topic which fits in with your wider programme.

If you choose this option your programme may look like this:

During this lesson students will study … (enter your chosen topic here). Students will select, research and write a Report about … (chosen topic) and present the Report to the class.

During this lesson students will:
• learn about … (chosen topic).
• gather information from selected sources
• utilise teacher-directed planning procedures to research and plan the presentation of a Report.
• learn to use parts of a book (title, table of contents, index headings) to locate information
• extract simple information from books, pamphlets, websites.
• learn that copying sections of someone else’s work is unacceptable unless the original work is acknowledged
• learn how to acknowledge all information sources
• sort and arrange facts and ideas in sequence
• recognise that purpose determines the form of the text and that language used can be adjusted for different audiences and situations eg formal language used when writing the Report.
• become critical writers as they reflect and evaluate their reports by asking the question, ‘Have I included all the important facts?’

Time Allowance:
It would be beneficial to split this lesson into four sessions.
• The first session includes the completion of the Report Planning Sheet (Steps 1 and 2)
• The second session involves writing the Report (Step 3)
• The third session involves designing and making the cover page for the Report (Step 4)
• Presenting the Reports to fellow students (Step 5) is a worthwhile activity. If the presentations are delivered individually to the whole class they are best done in short time slots convenient for your timetable. OR The Reports can be presented to peers in small groups.

Materials needed:
• books/pamphlets/posters from the library with pictures/photos and information about … ( the chosen topic)
• access to website for research on computer
• NB: It is a beneficial and interesting activity for each student to make her/his own Report Cover. Each student is supplied with an A4 sheet, a copy of an appropriate photo/or a picture the student has found and suitable art materials. Each student designs, then creates her/his own cover.

Lesson Outlines:

Step One (Introduction):
• Have on display pictures of …(chosen topics)
• Discuss the pictures with class.
Step Two: (Report Planning Stage)
• Each student nominates (within chosen topic) what she/he would like to study and write a report about.
• Check to see there is an even spread of choice.
• Give each student a Report Planning Sheet.
Students research to find information and fill in the boxes on the
Report Planning Sheet. This gathered information will be used to
write a final report.
• Students may work in pairs/or small groups to fill in the Report Planning Sheet. Students can use the books, pamphlets, pictures,

photos collected from the school library for this research. The internet is also a fantastic source for information.
• The Report Planning Sheet is divided into two columns.
The column on the left contains the headings, with ideas/examples
of what is required.
The column on the right is filled in by the student (with key words
or short phrases) with information gathered from her/his research.
• When the Report Planning Sheet has been completed students reflect on the information gathered and ask, “Have we included all the important facts?”
Step Three: Writing the Report
• Using the information gathered on the Report Planning Sheet, students write final Report.
NB: Some students find it difficult to put the key words and
phrases into sentences to write into the report and may still
need lots of modelling and oral practise.
• Students who are proficient writers can edit their work.
• NB: With the art work (Step 6 ) as a background display, presenting the Reports at the school assembly is a worthwhile activity.
Step Four:
Each student designs a cover for his/her Report. It is a beneficial and interesting activity for each student to make her/his own Report Cover. Each student is supplied with an A4 sheet, a copy of an appropriate photo/or a picture the student has found and suitable art materials.
Step Five: Presenting Report to the class
• Each student presents his/her report to the class or small group.

Step Six: Art Work
An excellent extension activity to follow the writing of the Reports is for each student to create a work of art that depicts the topic she/he has studied. The student may produce a drawing, a collage or a painting. The work of art should show the habitat and perhaps show other details about the topic, learnt during research. Each student should design the picture before working on the final copy.
NB: This activity could easily be developed into a T&E project. (scroll down and find ‘The Mask’ T&E sheet which could easily could be adapted.)

Outcomes achieved from this activity are:
• each student realises that art is created for different purposes (a picture to inform)
• this work is a visual expression of the students unique ideas
• students use different media together to create effect
• students learn that space is the area in which art is composed (how big will my subject be? where will I place it? how much space will I need to portray the habitat)
• students learn that space can be used expressively (the largest object in the art work becomes the focal point.)
• students learn to select the most effective tools to express their art ideas using the chosen media
• students are reminded about safety issues in the classroom when doing art.

To gain maximum benefit, these outcomes should be discussed with the students before they begin this activity. The discussion acts as a guide for their work and behaviour.

Mo, The Lost Monkey


A monkey, called Flo, lived in a forest with her old Mother, Ro, and her young son, Mo.


One cold morning Flo woke to find Mo was not by her side, on the wide branch, in the tall tree they called home.


She hurried up to a higher branch to visit her old Mother.
“Have you seen Mo?” she asked.
“No,” her old Mother replied.

She looked on the ground below the tall tree they called home.
Mo was not there.

Flo hurried over to her brother, Bro, who lived in his own tall tree in the forest.
“Have you seen Mo?” she asked him.
“No, I haven’t,” he said.

“I think he’s lost,” she told him, almost in tears.

“I wonder where he is?” Bro said. “Let’s look by the river. He loves playing in the water.”

Using vines like ropes they swung from tree to tree until they reached the river. The water was shallow near the edge where it was flowing over some stones. This was where Mo liked to play, but he was not there.



A yellow and red snake crawled along in front of them.
“Have you seen Mo?” Bro asked.
“No. He hasssn’t been here thissss morning,” hissed the snake as it slid over a log and onto a rock.


“Oh dear. Where can he be?” Flo wailed.

“Let’s look in the cave. He often goes there to visit Leo the Lion,”
Bro suggested.

To get to the cave they had to creep along a narrow ledge, above the river. When the cave came in sight they could only see the shadow of the cave inside its opening.


Nothing moved.
Leo was still asleep inside.

Flo started to sob.
“Let’s go home and decide what to do,” Bro said. He was getting worried too.

They crept back along the narrow ledge and swung themselves through the trees until they reached the tall tree Flo called home.

Ro was waiting for them. Her face dropped when she realised they had not found Mo.

They all sat on the wide branch in the tall tree wondering what to do next, when the hollow branch just below them started to move.

They stared as the branch seemed to come alive.
They couldn’t believe their eyes.
Something was coming out of the hole in the middle of the branch.




“It’s Mo!” Flo shouted as she rushed down and grabbed him. “What were you doing in the hollow branch?”

Mo was sleepy.
He didn’t know what all the fuss was about.

“It was so cold last night I crawled into the hollow log to keep warm,” he said. “I often sleep in there, but usually I come out before you wake up.”

Flo held him tight. She couldn’t think of anything to say.
Bro shrugged his shoulders and went back to his own tall tree.
Old Mother Monkey smiled and nodded her head.

Extension Activities - Mo the Lost Monkey - Phonic Pack 5.

Notes for tutor: Extension activities to follow ‘Mo, The Lost Monkey’.

1. Find (perhaps write) any names to be found in the story.
Why does each one have a capital letter?

2. Observe where quotation marks are used. Discuss.
(Quotation marks are used at the beginning and end of what is
actually spoken.)

Children could practise this skill by writing a conversation
between Mo and his Mother, Mo and his grandmother, Mo
and Leo the Lion or Mo and the red and yellow snake.

3. Find and write out the contractions in the story. (eg. haven’t)

4. Each child to draw and label a ‘Story Map’ of the story. (An A3 sheet would be appropriate size.)
ie: children determine where the story takes place and the
different scenes as the story moves along.
• This story begins in the tall tree Flo calls home. The child draws the tall tree with Flo, perhaps looking worried, in it. Using her/his own words write a sentence or two about what is happening in this scene. Small, neat printing will have to be used.
• The story moves on to Bro’s tree. The child draws an and illustrates, and writes a sentence or two about, the scene where Flo is asking Bro if he has seen Mo.
• The next scene has Flo and Bro by the river with the red and yellow snake. The child draws an and illustrates and writes about this scene.
• Then to the cave (some children may wish to include creeping along the narrow ledge – depends on the ability of the student as to how much detail you would expect).
• back to the tall tree Flo calls home. Once again it depends on the ability of the child, but some children may wish to illustrate Ro being sad when she noticed Flo and Bro had returned without Mo. Some children may illustrate the three sitting on a branch wondering what to do. Some children will go straight to the scene where Mo appears from the hollow branch or will just illustrate the reunion.
• You can use this activity to observe (perhaps for your records) a lot of things (from comprehension skills to work habits) about each child.

Note: If this is the first story map the children have done they will probably need detailed explanation and guidance. It is quite a difficult, but extremely worthwhile, comprehension exercise to tackle.
Of course you will need to allow adequate time – even two or three sessions.
