Pirates Love Underpants

Product Information

This means that you’ll start with the very first event and then describe what happened next, and so on. If your kids are looking for some new books to read, why not give them something that’s both educational and entertaining? Elastic is mentioned in the story a number of times. Can you plan and carry out an experiment to test the strength / elasticity of different pieces of elastic?

For me, writing is the best job ever. I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else. I love to create worlds for young children to enjoy and escape into – whether the stories are educational, bedtime, problem solving or just plain good fun. It’s also very exciting to see the first picture roughs, as my wonderful, talented illustrators bring the text to life. I live on the Essex coast in a lovely two-bed-roomed flat, which I share with my husband, Michael. At long last I have an office to write in, with room for all my books and bits of scribbled on papers. Watch this trailer for the book. Could you make your own animation to retell the story or to advertise the book? Sky Kids offers families 11 kids channels and over 5000 episodes of on demand viewing as well as the Sky Kids app, a safe space for younger kids focussed content, games and art tools with parental controls including a sleep mode so parents can moderate screen time.

If you choose to use the activity as seat work, kids can sequence the story as you read it aloud or share the video above.These free preschool printables are great any time of year, but they’re especially fun in the days leading up to Talk Like a Pirate Day or used within your ocean-themed lesson plans. What is story sequencing?

I had a variety of jobs, including secretary, trainee buyer at Harrods, dental nurse, production assistant in a reprographic and printing company and various others. Gomorrah we launched Sky Studios and now plan to more than double our investment in original drama and comedy over the next five years. I began to write after joining a creative writing class. I had no success with article writing, or short stories, or fiction, but the first children’s story I wrote, for a magazine called Twinkle, was accepted for publication. Hooray!!! Lucy Murphy, Director of Kids Content at Sky, said: “Sky Kids is passionate about creating the best shows for under 12s and finding new talent to work with. Our new original shows, alongside DreamWorks Animation’s Where’s Wally? bring music, natural history, comedy and innovative stories to our Kids service so there is even more for the whole family to enjoy.” Could you make a new book in the ‘Underpants’ series? What else might love underpants? Could you write a rhyming story about them?

Sharing is Caring

Things snowballed and a lot (yes lots and lots) of hard work later I now write full time and have over 50 books published. I still go to the same writing class and we have become a big happy family of writers!
