Stick Man

Stick Man lives in the family tree

With his Stick Lady Love 

and their stick children three . . .  

This has been the final Julia Donaldson book that we have shared together this term as part of our Author focus.

It was a great one to finish with - particularly as Santa made an appearance!

Stick Man had woken early one day and went for a jog - but had a few mishaps along the way!

"A dog got him" - Joshua G

"The boys and girls throwed him in  the river and he floated away and he wanted to see his tree family and he was lost" - Zak

The children were using him as part of their game of Pooh-sticks!

 "Once me and my mum played it. We throwed sticks in the river" - Jasper

After lots more mini adventures, Stick Man fell asleep and was picked up as a 'good stick for the fire'. He was woken by a noise from up above . . .

"Santa just came down the chimney. The Stick Man didn't move. The cat runned away because Santa came down - that's why - he's scared of him" - Lola

"It's good! Santa comed out the chimney" - Maggie

"Santa takes him home on his sleigh to his family tree" - Albie

This was a lovely ending to a lovely book.

We have really enjoyed all the Julia Donaldson books that we have read together - and will continue to enjoy them even when we change our focus author next term.
