The Robot and the Bluebird

November 27, 2022

This week we have introduced our new text ‘The Robot and the Bluebird’ by David Lucas. We spent the week slowly reading parts of the book: Predicting what might happen, asking questions about what the children thought about different parts of the story and how they empathise with different characters. The children have absolutely loved this approach and it has resulted in a wide variety of art experiences and writing opportunities – where the children have flourished in taking on writing from different view points (saying thankyou to the robot for giving the Bluebird somewhere to stay), giving opinions as they write (what their favourite part of the story was) and predicting what they think the story might be about(our Wow morning finding nuts, bolts and metal pieces all over the floor). It has beem amazing to see how much Holly Class have gained in confidence and skill since September – and now respond so confidently to writing challenges! Well done!
