Some of us are reading the novel “The Iron Man” by Ted Hughes in reading group time. Today we innovated on a paragraph in the text. We had to describe a different sort of robot than the Iron Man in the novel.
Here is what we wrote:
“Then, as Hogarth watched, a mean bossy figure climbed up over the cliff-top. The two lights shone into the sky. They were the hated figure’s eyes. A feared, dangerous figure, higher than a house, enormous and scary in the twilight, with bulging headlamp eyes.
The devious Iron Man is back!”
By Elisa
“Then, as Hogarth watched, a happy, colourful figure skipped up over the cliff-top. The two lights shone into the sky. They were the happy, colourful figure’s eyes. A small rainbow figure, smaller than a dog, colourful and shrinking in the twilight, with colourful headlamp eyes.
The happy, colourful Tiny Man was back!”
By Gogouli
“Then, as Hogarth watched, a dirty, fat figure slowly walked up over the cliff-top. The two lights shone into the sky. They were the fat figures eyes. The fat smelly figurewas smaller than a house, pink and shrinking in the twilight with tiny headlamp eyes.
The fatty was back!”
By William
“Then, as Hogarth watched, a happy helpful figure scuttled up over the cliff-top. The two lights shone into the sky. They were the courageous figure’s eyes. A giant colourful figure, smaller than a house, shiny and small in the twilight with awkward headlamp eyes.
The colourful Iron Man is back!”
By Irene
“Then, as Hogarth watched, a menacing, devious figure flew up over the cliff-top. The two lights glowed into the sky. They were the devil’s eyes. A massively huge figure, 13 times taller than an office block, a dirty red colour and getting bigger as he got closer, with red headlamp eyes.
The feared figure was back!”
By Sioeli
“Then, as Hogarth watched, a harmless, bright figure danced up over the cliff-top. The two lights glowing in the sky. They were the harmless figure’s eyes. A bright figure, smaller than a house, shining and glowing in the twilight, with colourful headlamp eyes.
The Robot man was back!”

We tried to make our writing put pictures in your head – did we succeed? Let us know what you think.

Hi guys it’s me, I just read all the different types of robotic super heroes and villians you wrote about. They all sound really good and I think that it was pretty cool.

Hi Guys, 🙂
Elisa-
I really liked it how you described your figure, it made me get an image of it. You used some interesting descriptive words. For example: Bulging, Enormous and Devious. 🙂

have an amazing day ok?
Hi Mrs Pericles I love the picture of the Iron Man . Do you know that I have a sketch of the real Iron Man? See you at school and keep blogging.
Thanks Gogouli – what do you mean the “real” Iron Man? Don’t tell me that there is a huge iron giant wandering around Belmore!!!!! How scary :-O
I mean the original” Iron Man” not the real one.And by the way sorry i forgot to put CAPITAL letters.
That’s OK Gogouli I fixed them up for you! You have a sketch of the original Iron Man? Did you do it yourself or was it done by someone you know?
