The Boy in the Dress

The Boy in the Dress by David Walliams (Powerpoint and worksheets) - Year 5 / Year 6  

The range of activities in this brand new resource from Teacher of Primary is based on David Walliams’s first novel The Boy in the Dress. It is not an autobiography but it was written very much with his twelve year old self in mind. At least one copy of the novel will need to be used.  There are weblinks to extend and enrich children’s learning and teachers will identify PSHE opportunities arising from the activities.

There are plenty of reading, writing and speaking & listening opportunities occurring naturally throughout the unit. There are activities designed to support the statutory requirements of the English National Curriculum for the teaching of vocabulary, grammar and punctuation, and specific opportunities to explore the more challenging domains such as the use of the subjunctive and modal verbs. Teachers will identify further opportunities which should be tailored to the needs of the children in their classes.

The whole unit of work could be completed in about 2 weeks, or extended to half a term’s work using the suggested links.  Teachers should select from, and adapt, these resources to meet the needs of the children they teach. There are some potentially sensitive issues explored throughout the story and teachers should make their own decisions about which elements to include. All the links to external sites are valid at the date of publication but should be checked before use.

David Walliams’s novels for children tackle difficult issues such as divorce, bullying, a vulnerable parent, etc. and he always writes with the child’s viewpoint in mind. There are other novels by the same author which can be used to draw comparisons and make contrasts.

•    Use a wide range of devices to build cohesion within and across paragraphs.
•    Plan writing by identifying the audience for and purpose of the writing, selecting the appropriate form and using other similar writing as models for their own.
