Novel Study
This half term we are reading and writing
using our novel:
The Boy Who Grew Dragons
written by Andy Shepherd and
illustrated by Sara Ogilvie.
When Tomas discovers a strange old tree at the bottom of his grandad's garden, he doesn't think much of it. But he takes the funny fruit from the tree back into the house - and gets the shock and delight of his life when a tiny dragon hatches!
The tree is a Dragon Fruit tree, and Tomas has got his very own dragon, Flicker... Tomas soon finds out that life with Flicker is great fun, but also very unpredictable.
Yes, dragons are wonderful, but they also set fire to your toothbrush and leave your pants hanging from the TV aerial. Tomas has to learn how to look after Flicker - and quickly. And then something extraordinary happens.

Children will identify and describe the functions of different parts of flowering plants: roots, stem/trunk, leaves and flowers.
They will explore the requirements of plants for life and growth (air, light, water, nutrients from soil, and room to grow) and how they vary from plant to plant.
Children will investigate the way water is transported within plants and explore the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed formation and seed dispersal.
