Ollie and the Underwater Orchestra - Family Learning Bundle

Dive beneath the waves and join Ollie the octopus on a musical adventure in this fun, creative and completely family-friendly learning bundle!

Ollie dreams of becoming a musician, but every instrument he tries seems to go wrong. From flying drums and runaway flutes to a very loud trumpet and a rather scratchy violin, Ollie begins to wonder if he'll ever find an instrument that's right for him. Then he discovers something unexpected hidden in an old shipwreck…

This original story provides the starting point for a whole world of learning opportunities that families can explore together.

🌊 What's inside?

📖 Reading & comprehension

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Designed for families

The activities are designed with multi-age home-educating families in mind, so siblings of different ages can explore the same story and topic together, while approaching activities at their own level. There is no need to spend hours preparing complicated lessons. Many activities use things you already have at home and encourage children to talk, create, investigate, move and think. This is learning that can happen around the kitchen table, on the floor, outside, through play and together as a family.
