PHIC: The Witches

October 21, 2020


This half term we have been very busy being creative during Literacy. 

We have been reading 'The Witches' by Roald Dahl and have completed lots of work around this text, including: creating character profiles for a witch (we also drew them as a part of Art); writing a diary entry about ‘the day Grandma lost her thumb’ and ‘life as a mouse’; made mice and wrote instructions for how to do this as well as how to train them to do tricks! We have focused on using fronted adverbials, similes, adjectives and improving our punctuation. 

Finally, we have made sweet treats, following instructions and using our super Maths skills, and hope that Mrs Norford and Mrs Jackson haven’t put any ‘Formula-86 Delayed Action Mouse Maker’ in them, otherwise we will be returning after half term as mice!
