Poplar class have had an excellent world book day! The book we have been looking at is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, an oldie but a goodie! We even had our very own pair of Oompa Loompas in the class! We started off by creating our own sweet inventions, just like Willy Wonka. We had to use expanded noun phrases and figurative language to describe our inventions. We then did a class vote on our favourite sweets and chocolates and used our Maths skills to create a bar chart to represent this information. We drew along with Quentin Blake, the author of lots of Roald Dahl's books, to have a go at sketching Willy Wonka and his Oompa Loompas. In the afternoon we took part in two fun world book day quizzes and got into the hall to take part in some drama activities acting out some of our favourite scenes from books.
