# In a dark, dark town...

  ![Image of In a dark, dark town...](https://files.schudio.com/ststephenskm/images/blog/IMG_6018(1).JPG)  14 September 2020   [Lyndsey Faulkner](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/author/Lyndsey)   [Year 1 Blog](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/category/year-1-blog)

This is our focus text for the week and links beautifully to our science learning too. It's repetitive lines and simple structure will really get the children's creative juices flowing. It's written by Janet and Allan Ahlberg who are responsible for penning many classic children's books. Try to explore other texts by the authors if possible or find out some more information about the very talented authors.
