    JULIA DONALDSON – LESSON PLAN 4

    ROOM ON THE BROOM


    For Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1

    Learning outcomes
    • To listen to a story and use it as a starting point to create their own work
    • To use imagination to plan, create and evaluate their own 3D models

    Resources
    • Room on the Broom: Storybook or Big Book
    • Room on the Broom Song. This can be found on www.gruffalo.com. Go to Clips and click
    on the song. You can also print the lyrics here.
    • A selection of cardboard boxes and tubes
    • PVA glue or masking tape
    • Paints and paintbrushes
    • Animal reference books

    Introduction
    • As a starter activity, discuss the cover of Room on the Broom with the class. What do they
    think it might be about? Do they recognise the author’s name?
    • Read the story, then ask children to retell it in their own words or to make a visual story
    map. Who was the ‘horrible beast’ that scared off the dragon? Show them the picture of the
    animals rising out of the mud and see if they can identify them from the story.

    Activity
    1. Use the Big Book to display the picture of the ‘horrible beast’ at the front of the class. You
    can also use a visualiser with a storybook for this purpose.
    2. Encourage the children to think of two or three animals that could make up their own
    ‘horrible beast’. For instance, you could have a lion’s face with a zebra’s body. Use animal
    reference books for inspiration.
    3. The teacher should then model a ‘horrible beast’ on the whiteboard for the children to
    make. Alternatively, some of the children may wish to plan their own model, using their own
    ideas.
    4. Select a different shaped piece of cardboard for each animal and then glue or tape them
    together. Masking tape is good because you can paint over it.
    5. Use paints to create each animal – they could be a selection of different colours and
    patterns. As an alternative, you could cut out strips of coloured paper and glue them on with a
    collage technique.
    Plenary
    • Lead a class discussion about the ideas that the children had for their models. Which was the
    most unusual idea? Which ideas were the most popular?
    • Show a selection of the children’s work to the class. Can the children think of any good
    names for the ‘horrible beasts’?
    • Did the children encounter any problems when making their models? How did they solve
    them?

    Note: If desired, this lesson may take place over two or three sessions – planning, model-
    making and then evaluating.

    For older or more able children:


    • Can the children think of a new story to include the character that they have created?
    • What would they call their character and what would it be like? What sort of adventures
    would it have?

    Extension activities
    1. You could make a classroom display of the models when finished.
    2. Listen to the Room on the Broom Song. You could teach the children the words and use for
    a class performance or assembly.
    3. Think about the title Room on the Broom. Can the children think of a good title that rhymes
    for a story or poem? Choose one or two of their suggestions and have the children write on
    one of those themes.
