We have kicked off this term's English with The Iron Man! For our first lesson, we were only shown the front cover. We had to become book detectives and think carefully about what clues were given to us. We worked in groups to find out what we knew already. We found out that The Iron Man is colossal, we knew this because there is a young boy, who looks tiny, perching on the Iron Man's shoulder. We also found out that the Iron Man has eyes that glow! Some of us made predictions about what the Iron Man could be like or who the young man could be. 

For the next part of the lesson, we collected and studied lots of vocabulary relating to the Iron Man. We looked as different properties of metals, such as, temperature, texture, colour and types of metals. We each had different items which were made out of metal which helped us think of great descriptions we could use for the Iron Man! 

We can't wait to learn more about the Iron Man!
