As part of our continuing work on Ted Hughes' 'The Iron Man,' the children in 3V are stepping into the shoes of local newspaper reporters this week, gathering information for a breaking news story: a mysterious Iron Giant has been sighted in the vicinity of Swan Lane First School, and a number of vehicles, as well as the school roof, have been damaged. Huge footprints were seen in the soft earth around the school, and what looked like enormous teeth marks were seen on the mangled remains of one of the teacher's cars!
An eye witness to the mysterious sighting - a boy called Hogarth - took to the hot seat for a press conference with our budding reporters this morning, who were keen to find out all the details.
Our 'Hogarth' did a brilliant job fielding all the questions from the children - it's a difficult skill to think on your feet and 'ad lib' answers to questions from the floor - especially if you are child in Year 3! The questions, too, were really well considered and helped the reporters find out all the juicy details they need to write this thrilling headline news!
