Literacy:

 

Mrs Maiden's Literacy Group:

Today, you will be writing the main events as part of your retell. 

 

The main events include:

  • Mr Fox coming up with a plan.
  • Leaving Mrs Fox and digging with the children to Boggis’ Chicken house 1 and taking 3 chickens.
  • Meeting badger.
  • Digging to Bunce’s Storehouse and taking bacon, geese, ducks and hams.
  • Digging to Bean’s Cider Cellar, meeting rat and taking 2 containers of cider. 

 

To make this exciting for the reader, you could:

  • Include exciting, descriptive vocabulary.
  • Include some speech between characters, punctuated correctly.
  • Use fronted adverbials at the start of sentences that show where, when and how. E.g. 

In the deep, damp hole, …

One gloomy evening, …

Sneakily, …

  • The characters’ thoughts and feelings (make them exciting, not ‘happy’ or ‘sad’)

 

Mrs Worrallo’s Literacy Group:

This week we are going to focus on the different characters in Fantastic Mr Fox and describe them!

 

Each day we are going to describe a different character. On Friday we are going to compare two of them!

 

Tuesday – Describe Badger.

Wednesday – Describe Mrs Fox.

Thursday – Describe Bunce.

Friday – Compare Badger and Mrs Fox.

 

Today, we are going to describe Bunce. Start by talking about him to an adult.

  • What does he look like?
  • What does he do?

 

Now open up the Blue Group Activity. Find the sheet about Bunce and write two sentences about him.

Maths:

Yesterday in Maths, we learned about interpreting pictograms.

 

Today we are going to learn more about Statistics (pictograms, tally charts, bar charts and tables).
