Cloud Busting in Year 5

By Miss Madden , in Year 5 - Thursday, 3 April 2025

This half term, we have been reading Cloud Busting by Malorie Blackman for our guided reading sessions. The book is about two boys, who's friendship is tested and lives are put at risk. The book, which is written in a variety of poetic styles, really captured the children and they were able to reflect on the various themes such as secrecy, friendship, fear, courage and difference. 
Here are poplar class cloud busting and looking at things through the glasses of 'Fizzy Feet', or Davey as he is also known.
