Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments

Yoto says: Find out what happens when a strange storm hits Franky's street and slowly but surely the Danger Gang is born! Extra extension exercise provided were your class will create a factual poster about thunderstorms. I like the beginning of the storey when Erik was swimming in the pool and suddenly there was some green flashes and Erik turned into a shark. The electrifying number one bestselling adventure from the author of The Christmasaurus and The Creakers, Tom Fletcher! It’s a really fun story, with lots of adventures, superpowers, secret agents and stinky nappies! I read a chapter each night to my 10 and 7 yr olds and they couldn’t wait to get the next instalment!

About Tom Fletcher

Based on chapter 4 of ‘The Danger Gang’, your class will have to highlight all the verbs used in the texts provided and determine the tense in which they are used (Past/Present). I really liked the strange things in it. My favourite bit was when they shrunk down to be the size of the model because it was cool. Meet Frenkie, he just moved to the little town of Bizar (though I guess if one moves from Grijsdorp it is an improvement) and misses his dear friend Dani a lot. We see how he tries to make the best of things and writes letters to his friend Dani. And then a big green poopy stinky storm happens and things get very weird and very bizarre. The story gets more and more magical and silly with each new month and I just LOVE LOVE LOVED it. It may have come over a bit episodic, but I think it wouldn’t have worked in another way given this book takes place over a year. It would just be too big or you would lose tons of story.

After writing songs with his band McFly for several years, Tom Fletcher turned his hand to writing stories. He is one half of the duo behind the bestselling Dinosaur That Pooped series. The Christmasaurus is Tom's first novel for young readers, and combines his love of Christmas and dinosaurs. However, some of this was a little annoying - in particular the ew girls are gross parts. Meeting the danger gang was so fun and interesting some of the plot line was pretty cool too, there is of course a lot of toilet humor in this one but it wasn't too bad. Outstanding! At first I thought this was a baby book and nothing more but my friend kept persuading me to read it. When i started reading, i fell in love with it and I was glued to the book. Astounding book. Recommend to 5-13 year olds. Tom Fletcher did it again! A fun, exciting, storm-tastic, superpowers and friendship filled story. I flew through it! This resources focuses on the information in chapters 8 and 9 of ‘The Danger Gang’. Your class will have to correctly punctuate the sentences from the extracts taken from the book. They will fill in all the appropriate: capital letters, full stops, commas, exclamation marks and question marks.The art was fabulous though I did think it was a bit odd how much they differ. You had SUPER detailed and gorgeous art, and more simple but also fun art. Between the two sometimes the characters just looked vastly different which was confusing. I still loved the art, don’t get me wrong, but I think it would be better if it had all been in one style. All seems normal until, following a terrific storm one night, with flashes of eerie green lightning and a definite whiff of poo, Franky notices a change in the people around him. First, Eric turns into a shark whenever water touches him, then Mollie becomes invisible, and Franky keeps glimpsing shadowy figures lurking at the edge of his vision. Convinced these bizarre occurrences are connected to the storm, he and his new friends form The Danger Gang and make it their mission to investigate the peculiar events.
