The ugly Sharkling

By Lawrence Hiller and Maia Wlczak

"Little Phil was very excited. It was a warm summer's day and he was off to the seaside with his best friend Harry.  Harry was no ordinary friend. He was a spider and a big hairy one at that."

A beautifully narrated and illustrated story for KS1 and KS2

​Teaching Ideas

  • Children choose an animal best friend and write a PERSUASIVE piece of writing explaining why it makes such a good friend,
  • RECOUNT the journey to the beach,
  • Create a bare bones of the story for recall,
  • Write a DESCRIPTION of the beach or under the sea,
  • Rewrite the NARRATIVE of the story, use a story mountain to scaffold.
  • DIALOGUE between Little Phil and the Dentist or the shark.
  • Write another adventure for Little Phil and Harry.
