Spring Term
This term we will be reading the books 'Stone Age Boy' by Mark Warner and 'Rain Player' by David Wisniewski.
'Stone Age Boy' is a fictional story about a little boy who is walking along when he trips, stumbles and falls... into the Stone Age!
'Rain Player' is a book based on Ancient Mayan belief that the future cannot be changed. This boy, Pik, must defeat the Rain God in a ball game to keep a disaster from occurring.
Both books are stimulating and will inspire all children's writing.
Autumn Term
This term we will be reading the book 'The Iron Man' by Ted Hughes. The book combines fiction with fairy tale. The Iron man tells the story of a gigantic metal robot who appears out of nowhere, crashing onto the beach and shattering into many parts. He is discovered by Hogarth, a young boy. The Ironman proceeds to devour farm machinery, until the farmers rise up against him. It is an stimulating book which will inspire the children's writing.
