Introduction

This resource pack for years 3 and 4 aims to help pupils to:

  • consider in detail the quality and purpose of what they read
  • extend and enrich their vocabulary through activities focusing on words and their meaning
  • explore, develop and examine ideas
  • write a poem in response to stimuli

For nearly half a century, Arthur Bickerton ran an old-fashioned ironmongery in Taffs Well. He announced his retirement at the age of 92.

His store was an Aladdin's cave of treasures of a bygone era. This unit includes a biography, an investigation into some items found in the store, and a poetry-writing activity.
