James and the Giant Peach

This term, we have been reading ‘James and the Giant Peach’ written by Roald Dahl. We have been using this story to discuss different feelings and frendships. As a class, we have discussed ways to help others if they feel unhappy or worried and shared some of our best moments that made us feel special.

So far, we have written some character descriptions of the wicked aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, and we plan to illustrate our descriptions in the style of Quentin Blake (the illustrator for James and the Giant Peach!)

This story has also sparked a big discussion about food!

Where does our food come from?

What food is healthy?

What makes some food unhealthy?

How much fruit and vegetables should we be eating?

We have been invited by Tesco Ness-side to take part in a “Food to Fork Trail” on Tuesday 10th June. We are very excited about this and we hope it can help us find answers to some of our questions!
