The whole school have been looking at the book 'Halibut Jackson' this week and we have had lots of fun with this in Class 2. We have looked carefully at the pictures and what they tell us about the characters and talked about what we think Halibut and other characters might be thinking or saying. We have also done some activities in our house teams, creating our own camouflaged Halibut's for around the school and putting together some great Halibut-inspired suits for our fashion show!
Everyone looked great in their World Book Day costumes on Thursday. We really enjoyed sharing our books from home...
Then we had a special challenge - creating a story about what might happen if some of our characters from the different stories met! Here are some of the stories we came up with...
“We are both looking for treasure and decide to help each other. On the way, we defeat the Evil Star Monster and then we find the treasure.”
“The football fan is eating a picnic. Mr Fox smells the food and comes and steals it. The football fan chases him but cannot catch him so goes home.”
“Harry Potter and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle meet and Harry turns him into a penguin and then a frog!”
“Jane bumps into the fairy and they walk together through the forest. They bump into Harry Potter and all decide to be friends. Harry Potter helps them make the flowers smell nice.”
Home Learning
Due Monday 6th March
You have a slightly different home learning task this week - we will be doing our next Big Write on Monday, retelling the story of Halibut Jackson.
This weekend I would like you to practice retelling the story to someone at home. Try to think of some interesting 'WOW' words you might be able to include in your story.
Please also make sure you keep practising your words from spelling time this week and previous weeks to help you with your independent writing.
