Welcome to Term 1 and 2

The Firework Maker's Daughter

Knowledge Organiser

This term, we will be reading the text, 'The Firework Maker's Daughter', written by Philip Pullman.

'What Lila wants to be more than anything else in the world is . . . a Firework-Maker!

But firework-making is not just about being able to make Crackle-Dragons and Golden Sneezes. There is also one special secret: every Firework-Maker must make a perilous journey to face the terrifying Fire-Fiend!

Not knowing that she needs special protection to survive the Fire-Fiend's flames, Lila sets off alone. Her friends, Chulak and Hamlet - the King's white elephant - race after her. But can they possibly reach her in time?'

Year 3 will be using this text to study geographical features and their affect on the environment. During terms 1 and 2, we will be looking at a range of volcanoes; where they are, their structure and how they vary. We will use the text to steer our learning on biomes, topographical features and case studies of volcanic eruptions.
