Has anyone seen the new Fantastic Mr Fox film? It’s getting some really good reviews and I imagine cinemas are busy this half term week with both this and Up! currently screening.

I’ve just been on the Puffin website and noticed they had a classroom activities section for teachers including an activity sheet for Fantastic Mr Fox (covering phonics and roleplay activities). Could be a good opportunity to demonstrate alliteration with a topical film that some children may have seen (or even a potential class trip!).

There’s other Roald Dahl worksheets on there too, including some of the other Dahl books we’ve just got new copies of – available in Teaching Practice on the back wall (in fiction) at TP 829.3/DAH.
