Phoenix Primary School ‘Where We Rise to the Challenge’

Class text

Autumn 1 2023

This half term, Phoenix Primary will start by exploring the text, 'The Wonder Garden' with each class investigating a different part of the world. The Wonder Garden is a beautifully illustrated book which allows its readers to 'wander through five habitats to discover eighty amazing animals.

The book entices children and adults alike through the golden gates on the cover and into the wondrous garden that is planet Earth.  From deserts, rainforests and mountains to oceans we are met by double spread after double spread of richly illustrated landscapes and beautifully drawn creatures.

The language used in the text is challenging also using the Latin names of the animals alongside the common. The author describes the creatures vividly, using poetic language amongst the technical.

In Year 4 we will be specifically looking at the Chinhuahuan desert.

After studying the Wonder Garden, we will be reading the amazing Roald Dahl novel, George's Marvellous Medicine. We have lots of fun drama, activities and games to take part in around this book!
