Learner Selfie

In the middle of a piece of paper draw a self portrait.  Then around the picture write people who are important to you, things you have learned in your life, things you like to do and things you would like to learn.

See you tomorrow

Good morning

I hope everyone enjoyed there first day back yesterday and have a had a good sleep!

Here are a few activities I would like you to carry out today.

We started our class novel Matilda by Roald Dahl.  Matilda loves reading.  What is your favourite book and why?  Write about your favourite book to try and convince someone else to read it.  Draw a picture to go with your writing.

Matilda loves to enjoy a mug of hot chocolate whilst reading a book.  Can you write a set of instructions for How to make a mug of hot chocolate.  Remember to list the ingredients, equipment and list the steps needed.

Chapter 1 – The Reader of Books

Discuss the following questions with an adult.

  1. What evidence do we have that suggests Matilda might be a child-genius?

 

2 Give several examples to support the idea that Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood “looked upon Matilda in particular as nothing more than a scab.”

 

  1. Describe the kind of person Matilda is.

 

  1. Why didn’t Mr and Mrs Wormwood notice that their daughter was special?

 

  1. Do you think Matilda is spoiled? Why? Why not?

 

  1. Why do you think Mrs Phelps decided not to “interfere” ?

Good luck with the activities and I will post more tasks for you to complete this afternoon.
