Friday 18th May

This week we have finished the end of Chapter 3 of 'The Iron Man' by Ted Hughes and we are currently reading Chapter 4. On Monday of this week, we read about how the Iron Man escaped from the hole the farmers had trapped him in but that they were able to stop him from eating their farm machinery this time around because they took him to a scrap metal yard where he could eat all the metal he wanted. Below is an example of a 'Scrapyard Poem' we created about all of the delicious metal treats on offer to the Iron Man in the scrapyard.

On Wednesday of this week, the Iron Man story took a strange turn as a star in the sky suddenly started to grow. For 5 pages the book describes what this strange star is doing as the people of Earth watch in amazement. In Class 3, after each page we stopped and wrote a headline, a picture and a caption for that picture which showed the events of the page we had just read. Below is one example of the fantastic work produced by Class 3 during this lesson.
