Iggy Peck, Architect

Product Information

Children will enjoy using different materials to create their own towers and use a range of adjectives, superlatives (-est suffix) and comparatives (-er suffix) to describe and compare structures. It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything. At the moment I struggle to find good books for my nearly 4 year old daughter as she is very smart and already read so many since she was little, so most of the books for her age are now too basic, yet the ones for the next age group up are often too complicated or too long. Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally).

With Andrea Beaty's irresistible rhyming text and David Roberts' unique and stylish illustration, this book will charm creative kids everywhere. David has been shortlisted for many prestigious awards, including The Little Rebels Award for Ada Twist, Nestle Smarties Gold for Mouse Noses On Toast, Mother Goose and the Kate Greenaway Medal. As the sequence of learning progresses, children will describe Iggy’s character and make comparisons with Miss Lila Greer’s character, using conjunctions.Children will go on to create posters using different sentence types to advertise an architectural drawing competition across the school – The Iggy Peck Dream Home Awards. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Andrea Beaty is a significant author with a distinctive poetic style and is supported by David Roberts’ wonderful technical illustrations.My son was 5 years old when I bought these books and we've read them regularly, talked about the stories in detail and been inspired to build as a result. His parents are proud of his fabulous creations, though they’re sometimes surprised by his materials-who could forget the tower he built of dirty diapers? Through fun rhymes and stunning illustrations of buildings and creations, your little one will be captivated by Iggy's imagination and creativity. Spelling Seeds have been designed to complement Writing Roots by providing weekly, contextualised sequences of sessions for the teaching of spelling that include open-ended investigations and opportunities to practise and apply within meaningful and purposeful contexts, linked (where relevant) to other areas of the curriculum and a suggestion of how to extend the investigation into home learning.
