Our focus text will be - The Firework Maker's Daughter by Philip Pullman
A young girl called Lila wants to become a firework-maker, like her father Lalchand. Despite her talents, Lalchand believes this is an unsuitable job for girls. Lila disagrees, and journeys to get Royal Sulphur from Razvani the Fire-Fiend at Mount Merapi, as all aspirant firework-makers must do.
But will her journey be a success? Will she make her dreams come true and become a firework-maker?
For this book, we will be working on developing our story-telling skills, using interesting descriptions and character profiling. We will learn how to write recounts, use persuasive language, improve our paragraph skills and create beautiful job adverts!
