Stanley's Stick

By Cedar Class, in Year 1 - Thursday, 9 January 2025

In English this week we have enjoyed exploring a new book, 'Stanley's Stick' by John Hegley. In the book, Stanley is a very curious character who loves to use his imagination. He imagines that his stick might be a dinosaur, a fishing rod, a broomstick or even a saxophone! 

Just like Stanley does in the book, we imagined that the stick was a dinosaur. We wrote sentences about what dinosaurs like to do, for example:

'I like to hunt for meat.' 

'I like to roar and snap my sharp teeth.'

We focused on starting our sentences with a capital letter and using a full stop at the end. We began to extend our ideas by using the conjuction 'and.'
