Fact File

We have been looking at maps in geography and finding out about different places around the world using our detective skills.

 Look at this website:

National Geographic for Kids

 

Choose a country from the index, and find out as much as you can about it. 

Either create a fact file to add to the blog or bring a short presentation on your chosen country into class.

Remember: no copying!  We don’t want to get in trouble!

 

I look forward to receiving your offerings by Wednesday 5th February!

 

Meet the Beavers

Below, you will find a link to a video clip of the Pevensie children meeting Mr Beaver when they first enter Narnia.

 

 

If you follow the next link, you will find a link to an online copy of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.  Go to page 36 – the beginning of Chapter 7.  Read to the end of page 39.

 

PDF version of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

 

What similarities (things that are the same) and differences (things that are different) are there between the video and the written story?

I would like you to write your response in full sentences, and to include examples from both the book and the film-clip.

 

I look forward to reading your responses by Wednesday 29th January 2014.

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

Stories Set in Imaginary Lands

 

 

We have started reading The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

 

Watch this film clip of Lucy entering Narnia for the first time.

 

 

 

The first half of the clip shows her entering Narnia and looking around.

How do you think she is feeling?

 

 

She then meets Mr Tumnus for the first time.  How do you think she feels when she sees him?  How would you feel?

 

 

I would like you to write a description of Lucy's first trip into Narnia.

We have been working on using adjectives and adverbs to add detail and description.

We have also been exlporing figurative language; metaphors and similes.

 

 

I would like you to include descriptive language, as well as trying to use a metaphor and simile.

 

You can put your post on the blog or bring it in on paper. 

 

I look forward to reading your blog entry by Wednesday 22nd January!
