Taking Flight is a short film inspired by the life and heritage of Antonio Pasin, inventor of the Radio Flyer wagon. It depicts a boy’s adventure that transforms into a larger-than-life journey.
For the last couple of weeks, year 4 have been studying the story of Grandpa Nono and the adventures he takes his grandson, Tony, on – traipsing through a jungle full of monkeys, cascading over a high waterfall down to a fast-flowing river, soaring through the skies, fighting aliens…
The children worked together on creating sentences to retell the story using their most adventurous and exciting vocabulary, descriptive powers and high-level punctuation. Individually, they have been asked to write their own adventures that this unlikely pair of explorers set out on.
Why don’t you watch the film ( Bing Videos ) with your child and then ask them about the adventures that they have described in their stories? Perhaps, you could describe what adventures you could picture them undertaking. Take this opportunity to share both your thoughts, descriptions and let your imaginations run riot.
