The Butterfly Lion!

Class 3 have been learning about the fantastic book by Michael Morpurgo - it's called The Butterfly Lion. Last week we made arguments. We wrote down extracts from the book to act out the best dramatic argument.The argument  involved  Bertie, the main character, and his cold father. They disagreed about keeping the white lion cub who Bertie greatly adores.

In the book Bertie lives in Africa and he has a white lion cub. After his dad killed the lioness he wanted to  keep him. The lion cub is surrounded by hyenas with no protection but luckily Bertie saves the white lion cub with great courage. However Bertie gets sent to boarding school in England so Bertie cannot keep the lion and the white lion is sent to a circus in France.

       

Here is some of the work we have done...

Why don't you read the book to find out more!

Handwriting Practise

We practised our handwriting using 'The Bee Keeper' as an example.

Mrs Andrew explained that everyone needs to be joining their handwriting by Christmas. 

The children worked really hard and there were some lovely examples ....

... and some beautiful illustrations as well!
