Year 3 have started reading The Firework Maker's Daughter by Philip Pullman. We are using this text to inspire our writing this term. Last week we wrote instructions for making our own firework using magical ingredients just like Lila and her father do. This week we are considering  how Lila feels when her father tells her that she cannot be a firework maker even though she feels that she knows everything she needs to know in order to be an excellent firework maker. The picture shows our own 'Lila' walking through 'conscience alley'  as we try to understand her dilemma. We will all be writing letters of advice to her.
