Literacy

We have now finished reading another class novel ‘The Witches’ by Roald Dahl.

I asked the class “how can we now apply all this information we have read into our literacy hours in class?”

The response was intense!

Together Year 5 developed a cross-curricula theme of work based on this book.

Here are just a few of the class’s ideas..

Science

• Make our own ‘Formula 86 Delayed Action Mouse-Maker’.
• Chemical reactions

Art

• Portraits of ‘The Grand High Witch’.
• Create a song/rap
• Develop a witch dance

ICT

• Research recipes for chemical reactions (especially stink bombs!!!)

Literacy

• Instructional language (How to make a spell or a recipe to wipe out all the children of England!
• Write poems
• Write profiles of the characters, explaining their characteristics.
• Story planning.
