Morning, busy bees, how are you doing?

Did you have a look at the Epic site? I could see that AD and SR had been browsing and reading. Well done.

I hope that you have been listening and reading along with the story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We will need information from the end of chapter 15 and chapter 16 to complete today’s task.

Spelling- as you are reading, make a note of any silent w words that you come across.

Today we are focusing on finding and selecting information about character from the text. Please write the date and I can write a character description of the Oompa-Loompas in your jotter.

Here are these pages you need to find information about the Oompa- Loompas from the text. If you can print them off, then you could mark the text on the paper, if not, then take notes as you read through.

I want you to think of as many different aspects of the character as you can e.g. appearance, likes/dislikes, personality, background (where the character came from, its history). Organise your notes so that information that is similar is in the same paragraph- all appearance is in the same paragraph, etc.

Here is a link to describing characters, to help you organise your ideas:

Make sure that you read through the description to check that the information flows and makes sense. Traffic light and comment on your learning, then please ask someone else read your character description and ask them to write a comment saying whether you achieved all the success criteria.

Numeracy

Eyes down for your mental maths daily stretch!

Our focus for addition today is the use of partitioning to help us calculate. Date and write in your jotter, I can add using partitioning grids. Follow the instructions and set your work out in well drawn out boxes, where the place values are correct and make sense.
