This purposeful back to school activity has been designed to accompany a whole class reading of the picture book The Koala Who Could by Rachel Bright. These no-prep booklets will allow your students to create diary entries from the perspective of Kevin before or after he leaves his tree, demonstrating their knowledge of the text and character development.

After reading the text, students will consider appropriate adjectives to describe Kevin at the beginning and end of the story. They will then put themselves in Kevin’s shoes, and complete a diary entry that includes details related to his thoughts, feelings and actions. Please note that this engaging resource includes 24mm and 18mm line spacing options to suit the needs of your class.

Kevin’s Diary is perfect for a lesson, independent work, a small group task, scribing, evidence for assessment or for a relief folder! Print double-sided and fold down the centre to create the diary booklet.

Younger students may benefit from having this resource enlarged to A3 to provide more space for drawing and writing.

It is time for Kevin to complete his diary!

This resource is available in our basic fun font and all Australian State fonts.
