This week, Primary 4 have written an imaginative story involving the mischievous Oompa Loompa characters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We were using descriptive adjectives and excellent openers to enhance our stories. To inspire our writing we watched a video of the Oompa Loompas in action, listened to their music and viewed pictures of them. We had super ideas…
Planning and sharing our ideas:
“The Oompa Loompas were left in charge of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory and they let five wicked people inside. They ate all the chocolate!! Mr Willy Wonka was very angry but the Oompa Loompas just decided to sing and dance.” – Kay
“The Oompa Loompas turned the chocolate factory into a museum. They made cool objects out of chocolate and sweets to show the public.” – Rosie
Writing our stories:
“In my story the Oompa Loompas decided to organise a big party inside the chocolate factory. They invited everyone and all the guest were swimming in the chocolate river. They also stole all the sweets and Willy Wonka told them that they were very greedy and naughty!” – Lucas 
“The Oompa Loompas turned the chocolate factory into a carnival and they partied all night long. Everyone from the town was invited. The rides were made out of sweets and there was also a chocolate river.” –Liam
Designing an Oompa Loompa character:
P4, this work looks wonderful! I also know from visiting your class that you have been finding out how chocolate is made. I am glad you are enjoying your novel study. It is great to see all the different things you are learning through your novel. I really like the big sweets that you made in your class 🍫 🍬
