Primary 6 opened their doors this afternoon to share their learning with parents, grandparents, aunties and friends. They were all very enthusiastic and throroughly enjoyed telling everyone about the links they have made with so many different curricular areas through the Storyline of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We have looked at characterisation in-depth, gone through the process of designing and carrying out the classroom transformation, found out about the journey of chocolate and how important Fairtrade is to those involved in the cocoa bean trade, invented our own sweets, created some fantastic acrostic poems and learned to illustrate in the style of Quentin Blake. It has been a great topic and this is just the tip of the iceberg – there has been a lot more learning involved.
I loved doing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as a topic because we got to watch the two movies and make our classroom into the factory it was amazing thank you Mrs Buchanan Coutts and Mrs Mc Cauley for all the learning that you have done thank you so much.
