Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Drama

Our main highlight from the past week has been creating and performing a short drama to the class. In groups we were given the task to report on the opening of Willy Wonka’s factory. We had to work collaboratively to assign roles so that each group had a Willy Wonka, interviewer and two news anchors.  All children were absolutely fantastic when performing and spoke with clear loud voices and demonstrated confidence! They were all very supportive of their peers performance and provided excellent feedback which related to our success criteria, speaking loudly and clearly.

In reading we have been working on coming up with questions that start with who, what, when, where, why and how before, during and after reading. As a class we read part of the first voice in Anthony Browne’s ” Voices in the Park” which gave us a lot to think about and question. We then went away and came up with our own questions and then came back as a class to finish the voice and see if our questions were answered.
