First Flight

goro-fujita-first-flight

  • How are the owls related?
  • Which owl is about to take its first flight? How do you know?
  • How does the young owl feel about flying?
  • What might it be thinking? Add a thought bubble to the picture.
  • Is the older owl worried?
  • What advice might the older owl give to the younger one?
  • Write ‘An Owl’s Guide to Flying’, to be used by younger owls before their first flight. Perhaps you’ll include an explanation of how flying works, the biology of wings, instructions, training advice, tips and warnings… How will you make it informative and entertaining?
  • Think of the first time you did something new. How did you feel about it? What emotional journey did you go on? Plot your feelings on a graph.
  • If trying new things is scary, does that mean you should never try them?
  • Compare this image to this one: I Believe I Can. What’s similar and what’s different?

      “Big brother…” stuttered the minuscule, chattery owl, “how ever will I fly? My wings are barely big and I believe that balancing with my weight, I’ll fall!”
      “You shouldn’t worry. Almost our whole town said that when it was their turn. Just fly.” The little, shuddering owl took a deep, long-lasting breath. FWOOP!
      Silence.
      “Little brother? Junior? Baby Owl?” The big owl’s eyes started to flood with rivers of sorrow.
      Just then, little owl’s voice bellowed,”Woo hoo!”

    My first flight so terrifying.Staring down at the real world is like falling of a cliff,but i know I’m not alone I have nature,family,home they will guide me through this great adventure called life.I will conquer it I will stand beside it if it needs me to fight for it.I will forever live even if this step into the big world fails because I have love and peace in my heart and nothing is stronger.This flight is mine to take control of it.Its time for me to shine.

    Dear diary,

    Today was the day. The day I learned to fly! I was so scared. I’d never flown before and I thought it would be a breeze, but it really wasn’t. Everything seemed so far away; so small, like tiny ants. Daddy told me I would be able to fly first try. I’m worried I’d let him down. I jumped, spread my wings and… I DID IT! I actually did it! All this time I was dreading it, but it’s now the best day of my life. No more walking or being carried by mum! I was a big boy now!

    That was my favourite day (for now) written on one page.
    P.s tomorrow will probably be my new favourite day.

    TWEETY

    The day had come. Time to fly for Hoot. “Um, mum. I ,um, don’t , um, want to ,er, fly.” He stuttered to his mum. He wanted to live a life with his claws safely on the ground.
    That’s the story of the owl who didn’t want to fly.

    I think that the little owl is about to take flight because he looks quite nervous.

    I think that the two owls are related. Maybe it is a chick and it’s grandfather is teaching the young to fly, as he looks very wise and the younger owl looks scared. It looks like he has never flown before from the look on his face.

    It was time for me to take flight. My mum was beside me I was so afraid even when she is with me she was smiling she new it was time I knew it was time I jumped used my wigs I was so scared “Hoot” I was flying a rush of excitement went through me I was so happy I can fly. Wait I can go out on my own now meet other birds do other things.

    It’s day two I’m off on my own exploring the real world it is so much fun.
