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!
