The Ghost Who Was Afraid of the Dark – Family Learning Bundle

Make autumn learning feel magical with The Ghost Who Was Afraid of the Dark, a gentle but slightly spooky story about George, a ghost who is frightened of the dark but discovers that being brave doesn't mean being fearless.

When George sees a family of squirrels in trouble, he must overcome his own fear to help them. Along the way, children explore themes of bravery, kindness, helping others and overcoming fears.

This family learning bundle has been designed for home-educating families with children aged 4–11, making it easy for siblings of different ages to learn together around one story.

What's included?

📖 Reading activities

✏️ Writing inspiration

🔢 Numeracy tasks

🔬 Science investigation

🌿 Outdoor learning

🎨 Creative projects

Perfect for families

The activities are designed with multi-age home education in mind. Rather than needing completely separate lessons for every child, the whole family can begin with the same story and then work at a level that suits each child.

You can read together, talk together and explore the activities as a family, while still providing meaningful challenge for different ages.

A lovely autumn resource for families looking for creative, flexible and meaningful learning built around a story.
