Coundon Primary School

You will find many creative activities based on each book to make reading even more enjoyable and interactive.Traction Man—wearing combat boots, battle pants, and his warfare shirt—comes in a box, but very quickly finds the way into the imagination of his lucky boy owner. Naked Barbies and a cupcake need to be rescued, and Grandma's knitted creations are not appreciated (but the fake thank yous keep her knitting year after year). Traction Man is an action figure doll, who dresses in different outfits for different adventures and saves the day! It is a fun and interactive story and creates lots of opportunity to talk about the story from different characters’ viewpoints, developing language and an awareness of character development. This is a fabulous book to inspire creative play in a Reception class, and oral story telling and writing in Y1 or 2, especially if the class topic is Toys and Games.

However Traction Man looks less than happy and appears somewhat unsure of his jungle outfit, but it doesn’t stop his from rescuing the Cupcake from Doctor Sock and the Spoons who have crashed down from the VERY high Kitchen Cliff. You can even extend your learners by encouraging them to create their own short story or character description, based on their superhero. I love how the imagination makes everyday "chores" (such as doing the dishes or taking a bath) fabulous opportunities for Traction Man to save the day!

He’s an action man with a difference: his quest is to save endangered spoons, fend off the vacuum monster and evil pillows, dive for wrecks in the sink and rescue damsels in distress in the garden.
