Where My Wellies Take Me

Product Information

The opportunities for cross curricular work are numerous and I’d be tempted to spend some time on both the narrative and art and design elements of the children’s scrapbooks to create something hugely special. Having kept the profile of poetry high across the previous months and through your ongoing exploration of the book, the children should be ready to choose their poems. Where My Wellies Take Me, of course, has its own theme, which you could continue. Alternatively, the children could choose a new direction. Themes you might want to consider include: Each poem in the book has been carefully chosen by Clare and Michael Morpurgo to complement each part of the story.

Pippa’s walk was a kind of holiday journal. Perhaps the children would like to choose somewhere they know well from one of their holidays to create their walk?

Give each pupil an old exercise book to decorate and use as a draft scrapbook in which to start collecting any poems they like. My class used to have a Friday afternoon rota where they had the opportunity to share any poem they had found that week. Guess what? They had often learnt these poems by heart, completely independently.Some of the illustrations had an unfinished quality, as if we were peeking into a sketchbook. The songbirds and the wildflowers were a particular treasure although I loved each and every picture for one reason or another.
