For our book masterclass pupils from P4-7joined together to look at Liz Pichon’s book “Tom Gates – Genius Ideas (Mostly)”.
We read an extract of the book together and discussed the style in which Liz writes her books. She uses lots of pictures (or doodles as Tom calls them) and changes her writing to show what the word means. These types of words are called calligrams.
We then set to work creating calligrams our own words. We were very quiet and concentrating extremely hard when we were completing this!
At the end we shared our calligrams with each other and gave each other feedback on what we had created. Have a look!
