Max is delighted when he wakes up to a thick covering of snow. He loves speed and is desperate to go sledging. Max's magic soldiers can build anything he asks for but their magic doesn't last for long.
Max struggles to use the right materials to build a superfast sledge and soon learns that cardboard isn't waterproof, thin plastic is uncomfortable (plus it gets stuck in the fresh snow) but could a wooden sledge with thin runners be the answer?
This book contains beautifully detailed illustrations and can be used to teach materials as part of the KS1 curriculum.
Suitable for 4-8 year-old children.
Max McDrew's Magic Soldiers
Max McDrew asks his magic soldiers to build three sledges each time using a different material. Firstly they build a sledge out of cardboard, secondly out of thin plastic and lastly smooth wood with thin runners at the bottom. This story can be used to teach children about materials as it links to the KS1 curriculum.
Max McDrew can also be used as a teaching resource to teach different elements of writing in KS1. Nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs pop out of selected pages so children can see how they can be used within a text.
At the back of the book are teaching ideas for writing and drama.
