Teaching resources for The Wild Ones by Steve Cole

These engaging KS2 teaching resources for The Wild Ones by Steve Cole invite pupils to explore an exciting story of survival, friendship and adventure. Through discussion, inference, prediction, creative writing and imaginative activities, children will examine characterisation, relationships, tension and the differences between domesticated and wild animals.

The lesson plans and accompanying resource sheets support whole-class, paired and independent learning, while developing reading comprehension, spoken language and writing skills. Some activities explore sensitive themes, including danger, separation and the need for a safe place to live, so teachers should guide discussions with care and sensitivity according to the needs of their class.
