Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the Colour Run!

We have been extremely busy learners learning about different Literacy skills using the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

We have consolidated, learnt and explored the following skills:

Prediction
Characterisation
Skimming and Scanning
Visualisation
Labelling information to create a poster
Created a newspaper article

and many many more…!

In teams, we used our senses to create and design our own chocolate room!

‘We imagined what we would smell, hear, feel, taste and see!’ – Max M.

Using our imagination, we designed and labelled our own creative chocolate room!

We pretended to be illustrators and designed a new front cover for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

‘An illustrator is the person who draws detailed pictures.’ – Luca V.

Willy Wonka releases his article in a newspaper to describe that he is releasing 5 Golden Tickets. Therefore, we learnt the features of a newspaper article and created our own!

‘A newspaper article has detailed drawings, words that describe important information and has a big, bold heading!.’ – Fara

‘A newspaper article needs to have lots information to tell you what is happening.’ – Scarlett

‘

We have explored all of the characters within Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Using information from the text, we created a character description on our favourite character and Willy Wonka!

Our character descriptions included:

Describing words (adjectives)
Detailed drawings
Appearance
Personality
Actions

Aria, Thomas, Max B., Luca V. and Max M.

Here are some posters of our adjectives that we used to describe the characters from the novel.

Using our imagination, we made our own chocolate bar! However, we had to label and include key information to describe our chocolate bar.

For example, we described what scent, flavour and the special aspects that the chocolate bar had! We also designed our own wrappers! We were pretending to be Mr Wonka himself!

Testing our knowledge and comprehension of the novel, we used Blooket to complete a quiz! We had to answer as many questions as we could on the Chromebook. However, our points were in danger because sometimes our friends would be able to swap or steal our points!

We had lots of fun and cannot wait to complete another quiz!

Today, we had the most amazing time completing the colour run! Look at our pictures! We were running, swerving and dodging the chalk paint! We are warriors!!!!
