Literacy Work - w/b Monday 1st November 2021

For our literacy work after half term, we will be focusing on the character Mr Twit, from Roald Dahl's 'The Twits.'  You can listen to the first chapter of the story, in which Mr Twit is described in glorious detail, by clicking on the link here.

It would be useful if you could discuss the following with your child in preparation for our work this week:

• Discuss and practise using the word of the week ‘pungent’.

• Use positional openers to describe where things are on the character’s body (Tucked under his hat... Nestled in his beard...)

• Think of ambitious vocabulary to describe what Mr Twit looks like, as well as what he is like as a person.

• Practise using conjunctions such as ‘despite’, ‘meanwhile’, ‘although’ and ‘however’

• Think about your opinion of Mr Twit, and what Mrs Twit’s opinion of him might be.

Any work that you complete at home can be used to support your work in class.

Many thanks,

Mrs Vaqueiro
