Class 5’s Literacy lessons on the week beginning 6th October will all be based around reading comprehension skills. We will build up our reading skills and use what we’ve learnt to write detailed book reviews over the course of the week.
In order for everyone to complete the work fully we will all need to read at least one Roald Dahl book at home over the course of the week. If you don’t have access to any Roald Dahl books at home then let Mr Antcliffe know and he will provide one for you. You will need to bring your book to school with you everyday as we will be referring to them in each lesson.
Enjoy reading these stories and we’re looking forward to seeing some fantastic book reviews at the end of the week.
I have read a book by Michael Mopurgo called Little Manfred. It is about two little kids on the beach, one kid is 12 and the other is 7. The 7 year old and his dad liked football a lot and watched the World Cup Final in 1966. They live in a farm and saw two men on the beach and the two men went over to them and chatted to the two kids named Charley and Alex. The two men also chatted about how they bought tickets to the World Cup Final in 1966 and about if the final goal by England went over the line or not. In the end the two men were from Germany and worked in England and stayed at the same farm as the two kids. They also played with the two kids mum called Grace and make a little wooden toy called Little Manfred. One of the men who made Little Manfred was killed in the war. Later on they go back to the farm and Grace sees the two men and can’t believe it. She cooked them tea inside there house and talked about how the two men fought on the Bismark the German ship and how the fought in the war. I really liked the book and thought to me how terrible it would be if the war was still on.
Thanks for the book review Ned. Could you please re-post this review in the Book Group blog, as this blog is discussing Roald Dahl stories. Thanks, Mr Antcliffe.
Ok
Fantastic Mr Fox
Published in 1970, Fantastic Mr Fox is a really popular book and now is a really popular film. Characters include Mr Fox, Franklin Bean, Nathan Bruce, Mrs Fox and Walter Boggis. Walter, Franklin and Nathan, all farmers, hate foxes. Mr and Mrs Fox live next to the farm. Every night Mr Fox would go and steal a animal for the family’s lunch. The farmers do NOT like this and are trying to kill the fox family. This is also the book I have chosen to bring to school.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9*10*
Charlie and the Chocolate is written by one of the world’s best authors and that is… Roald Dahl. Do you love chocolate? Well this is the book for you then. It is a wonderful story. It is so wonderful it has been converted into two films so far! Let’s go on to the characters. There are many characters but these are the main ones.
Charlie Bucket is the last one to get a golden ticket. He loves chocolate but only gets it once a year. They are a very poor family – the Bucket family.
Willy Wonka is a marvellous chocolate maker and nobody is like him. Even now nobody is like him.
Oompa loopas
What a weird name! They are Willy Wonka’s helpers. There many in his factory. This story is wonderful.
The BFG
The BFG was published in 1986, by Roald Dahl. As soon as it came out there were queues all around lining up especially in his home country, Norway. It is also a very popular film some of the main characters are Sophie and The BFG. Most of the books he has written have become famous films, which have been rated very well for a very good film.
I like this book because it interests me a lot, because of how he writes the book. For example he used made up words to tell you how he would speak in real life, like saying snozzcumber for cucumber. That’s why I rate it 4.5 out of 5!
I agree Thomas, Roald Dahl’s use of made-up words shows lots of creativity and adds to the richness of his writing. I wonder if Class 5 could create some bespoke words like Roald Dahl when they’re writing their detailed book reviews.
The Witches
The Witches is a great book. It was published in 1983. It’s all about a little boy ( we don’t find out his name ) and his grandmother who takes care of him after his parents were killed in a car accident in Norway.
His grandmother tells great stories about witches and believes they are real. She tells her grandson that the Grand high witch is trying to kill every child in the world.
On a holiday in Bournemouth they stay in a hotel where there is also a convention of the RSPCC
( Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children. )
The boy goes into a ballroom where the meeting is being held and hides behind a table but it turns out the women at the meeting are all witches!
He waits terrified behind the table as a women steps on the stage and he realises its the Grand High Witch! She takes off her mask and reveals a disgusting face and they are all bald.
She has a secret plan for all the witches to put a potion into some sweets in sweet shops and when children eat the sweets they would turn into mice and then be killed.
One of the witches smells the boy and they catch him. It is terrifying. They give him the potion and he turns into a mouse. Luckily he escapes and from then on he runs back to his grandmothers room.
The Grand high witch has a room below and his grandmother lowers the boy down onto the balcony to get the secret potion. After he gets it he rushes back to his grandmother and they come up with a brilliant plan to put the potion into the hotel food so the witches will all turn into mice and then all get killed.
The ending is happy but also very sad because mice don’t live very long and the grandmother is very old.
Me and my mummy both cried.
I would give this book a 10 out of 10. It has been one of the best Roald Dahl books i’ve ever read. I have read all them except Going Solo. They are my favourite books after David Walliams books.
I would recommend this book for an age about 6-100 it is a little bit scary but very exciting and makes you always want to read on.
I think the BFG is very good because it makes you read on and on. It’s about a girl named Sophie. As the clock struck 12pm, a big giant was holding a basket of something and it was shiny but Sophie couldn’t describe it. She thought to herself ‘Am i dreaming or am I seeing things in real life?’ It could be a robber stealing a diamond or something precious that is very expensive and its is the last one in the the whole world. So she crept down stairs and opened the door so Sophie chased the giant and followed it all the way to its lair and shouted what our you doing Mr Giant.
Who would you recommend should read the book Pedro?
I read the book BFG because it is one of my favourite books and it reminds you of your friends. I think I would recommend this book to people ages 4 -7 because I think their imaginative minds will help bring the story to life. I also would recommend this to parents because it would make them remember about their own childhood years. Thank you Mr Antcliffe for this amazing post!
George’s Marvellous Medicine
1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9*10*
George’s Marvellous Medicine is a children’s book written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake. It was first published in 1981. Most Grandmas are kind, helpful, loving. George’s is not. She is a rude little person and always argues. So when it comes to medicine time George gets his own back. Read the book and find out what he does…
The characters include:
George Kranky a little boy who is 8;
Mr Killy Kranky (George’s dad);
Mrs Kranky (George’s mum); and
George’s mean Grandma.
Matilda
Matilda is a child who is underestimated by her parents and her brother. It is not until Matilda attends school and meets the lovely Miss Honey that anyone begins to nurture her talent. But things don’t become easier for Matilda there. She must survive a place ruled by the frightening, and larger-than-life, Miss Trunchbull who has Matilda in her sights, insisting she is “a nasty little worm” because of her cheek and her father’s dodgy car selling business. However she discovers that she has telekinesis where she can move objects and she uses that to save the day with Miss Honey.
I think this is a book for 8-12 year olds because it is age appropriate and it will have you in giggles till you fall. It is a very heart warming book that really is love-able for all.
By Nana Yaa
The Twits
I read a story about two old (but they call themselves young) people called Mr Twit and Mrs Twit who both hate each other. One day Mr Twit decided to do something awful to Mrs Twit’s precious place and that was to ruin her beautiful garden (ugly I call it), but Mrs twit got her revenge when she was cooking spaghetti and put worms in his plate. He ate it all up! Then she waited till the very last moment to say that she put worms on the plate, and Mr Twit was infuriated, but how will he get his revenge?
I wound rate this book 10/10 because of the chucklesome things inside of it and the drama as well.
I am very impressed with your reading Class 5. Keep it up!
Flying Solo
Flying solo is the sequel to Boy: Tales of Childhood (the first part of Roald Dahl’s autobiography). It starts when he is in hospital because he has had a flying accident in the war. At first he is blind and bandages are wrapped around his head so he could not see anything. As the story progresses you become more and more engaged in the tales of sweet victory and tales of sorrowful defeat.
I read a very interesting book which is – Fantastic Mr Fox.
The book is about a male fox who they call Mr. Fox. He keeps stealing chicken from three nasty crooks named Boggis, Bunce and Bean, consequently, they get furious when Mr. Fox steals from them! So one day, the three criminals make a cunning plan to capture Mr. Fox. One thing they don’t know about Mr. Fox is that he is smarter and wiser than he looks! Mr. Fox is now called Fantastic Mr. Fox in my view as he is very smart and intelligent. He outsmarted the three evil men and saved his family from horrid terror!
I won’t spoil all of it for you so, I’ll let you read it yourself.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Charlie is a young poor boy who lives in a family of 6 people, but his one desire is to eat Wonka bars for life. However, the factory is closed as people believe that Wonka has retired but he is actually hidden in the factory somewhere. Charlie’s luck changes when the golden tickets are sent out by Willy Wonka to find five people to come into the factory. As you know, the world goes crazy to find the the ticket but they are won by … ( I won’t tell you but there is a lot of chocolate, whinging and crazy people) fortunately Charlie gets lucky and wins a ticket and gets to meet Mr Willy Wonka and where he meets the Oompaloompa’s who singing dance and are great fixers. One by one each of the kids wander off with their annoying and obnoxious parent to different places. But there is a winner in the story and that is … (same again, I am not going to tell you but there are surprises and giggles to see the turnout.).
I recommend this book to all people who love sweets and love to have a laugh. Also, if you love the book then you would love to read the sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator where they go into space and some of them become babies as they complain but it is still a lot of adventure.
The BFG
The BFG is a nice and jolly giant. In fact, he is the one and only big friendly giant in his country, Giant Country. All of the other giants in giant country big meat-dripping, bone-crunching brutes and now the BFG and Sophie must stop the giants guzzling up little humans – with a little bit of help from the Queen.
The BFG is a fascinating book about a girl Sophie. She described the BFG as ‘something very tall and very black and very thin.’ Sophie was amazed at the size of the BFG as it was 4 times as tall as a human.
I recommend this intriguing book for 3+ whether you are reading it yourself or it is been read to you, it is still a really good book. I also think that everyone in the school should read this book and understand it to write a book review in your Guided Reading journals.
‘Matilda’
Maltilda’s love of books over takes her life. Her mum, dad and brother are really greedy and lazy.But her teacher Miss Honey thinks Matilda is a genius. Matilda’s headmistress and parents need to watch out because Matilda has some tricks up her sleeve!
Did you know that my dad has met Roald Dahl and has got his signature? He has also got a book that has been signed as well!
That is an interesting fact Beatrice, did your father tell you what Roald Dahl was like in person? Did he seem like the creative genius that he is?
George’s Marvellous Medicine
This book is one of Roald Dahls best books. At the beginning of this book George’s parents leave him at home with his old grandmother. His Grandmother is very fussy and bossy, for example, ‘Please can you get me tea with one spoon of sugar in?’ and then she would say ‘Make it more sweet.’ Then he thinks that his grandmother is a witch because she is telling him that he should stop growing even though he is 8.
And that is why I am rating this book 4 out of 5.
Next week we will be looking at themes within stories, for example in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory there is a theme of ‘flawed characters (like Veruca) getting a comeuppance’ can you identify a theme in George’s Marvellous Medicine?
George’s Marvellous Medicine.
It is about a boy named George and his grandma who babysits him. And George decides to make medicine for her but that’s when everything goes wrong. George gives her the medicine but it turns her into a giant! Then his parents come home and they try to make a formula to make her back to the normal size. But I’m not going to ruin the story. I recommend this book for 9+. This book was published in 1981.
The characters introduced in this book:
George Kranky. Age:8
His grandma. Age: unknown
Mr Kranky. Age unknown
Mrs Kranky. Age unknown
The Witches
I chose a book for my review ” The Witches ” by Roald Dahl.
This is a story about a little boy (we do not know his name) who is looked after by his grandmother, after his parents died in Norway. This book is aimed for children who like scary stories. The author, Roald Dahl, is British but was born to Norwegian parents. Roald Dahl wrote a lot of books for children – they are great!
The story starts in Norway. After his parents died in a car accident, the boy goes to live with his grandmother. One of the wishes of his father was that his son lives in England. His grandmother decided to spend their holidays in a hotel in England.
The little boy finds out that witches are staying in the hotel! He listens to the witches talk about their new secret formula: The Delayed Action Mouse Maker. The witches will use it to turn everybody in the world into a mouse! When the evil witches spot the little boy, they use their newest potion to turn the boy into a mouse! The boy and his grandmother try to stop the despicable witches! What will happen next …
I think this book is super! It is very funny and it has a great theme. If you like spooky and amusing stories this is the book for you. I also read five other books written by this author and I loved all of them! I advise you to read it!
Fantastic Mr Fox
Fantastic Mr Fox is a great book.
It is all about a family of foxes trying to keep safe from 3 horrible farmers called Boggis, Bunce and Bean. Boggis was as fat as a space hopper and farmed chickens. All he liked to do was to kill his chickens and eat them for breakfast, lunch and tea. Bunce was a duck farmer. He was tiny but terrifyingly revolting. He killed his ducks to make paste to put into his donuts. How disgusting! Bean was a tall thin man, like one of those drinking straws with a bendy bit at the top. He hated food so instead he drank cider from his apple orchard. Whenever a bunch of children walked past the farm they shouted, “Boggis and Bunce and Bean. One fat, one short, one lean. These horrible crooks. So different in looks. Were none the less equally mean.”
The daddy fox keeps stealing food from the farm and Boggis, Bunce and Bean try to catch him in many different, frightening ways. My favourite bit of the story is when Bunce and Bean drive tractors to where the fox family were digging for their lives. The final plan that Boggis, Bunce and Bean make is to wait outside the fox hole until the fox family come out to grab some food or they would starve to death. It was funny to count how many times Boggis yells, “Dang and Blast!” when the fox family avoid being caught. But they forgot that foxes can dig brilliantly so Mr Fox uses his sense of smell to detect where all Boggis, Bunce and Beans animals were kept in sheds. Then they could dig a tunnel there and eat them. In the tunnel Mr Fox meets his friend Mr Badger and rabbits and weasels. Fantastic Mr Fox was so glad to see him so he invited his friends over to eat a great feast stolen from Boggis, Bunce and Beans sheds. And from then on the animals would never go outside again and Mrs Fox says “ Mr Fox is Fantastic”. This is the second time I have read Fantastic Mr Fox and it was still brilliant.
Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl
Mr Fox is in danger. He is being hunted down by 3 angry farmers, for killing some of their livestock. This is not good news for Mr fox’s family. What will he do? The farmers are determined to kill him and are coming up with lot’s of horrible plans. He’s managed to outwit them so far but now the diggers are moving in. Is this the end of Mr Fox and his family? …. Sorry! Can’t tell you any more. Just letting you know, that there is a strange twist to this tale….
So get out there and get this book!
I have read the first 23 pages of the BFG, this is a book by Roald Dahl. At the beginning he introduces the main character which is Sophie. She wears glasses which are round in shape like Harry Potter’s. Her night dress is very bright pink, and goes down to her ankles. The BFG stands for the big friendly giant, he is extremely tall as tall as two blocks of flats. He has very wide ears and a long nose, and has a dark black cape. The BFG has only a bit of hair on his round head, he also has extremely bright teeth and huge teeth.
Would you recommend The BFG to any particular group of readers Duncan?
I have read the first 45 pages of the book The Twits. It’s a great book about the Twits who hate each other! This book is a page turner and if you like comedy then this is a great book for you – I rate this book 10*. I recommend it to ages 6+ (a great book to learn about pranks) Thank you for reading about my review of The Twits – the book is amazing!
I really like the way you’ve talked about the comedy theme within the story Allicia. We’ll be completing some more work on identifying themes in books next week. Do you know any of the themes within Charlie and The Chocolate Factory?
Charlie and the chocolate
In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory there is a little boy called Charlie. Charlie lives with his mother and grandparents. Everyday in Charlie’s household, for supper they have cabbage soup. One day while Grandpa Joe was reading the newspaper he saw that the old chocolate factory was to re-open. If Charlie was lucky he would get a Wonka bar, the next day while Grandpa Joe was reading the newspaper he discovered that Mr wonka was giving away 5 golden tickets. The winners get to go to his factory. On his travels he found a penny near the drain after he went to the shop Charlie got a chocolate but it didn’t have a golden ticket so he bought another one. Charlie opened the bar slowly … guess what? He got the last golden ticket. They all hade a wonderful time although Charlie and Grandpa Joe got in little bit of trouble, but in conclusion it all ended well.
The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me
Billy was a nine year old boy who has always dreamt of owning a sweet shop. One day, as he walked past the building close to where he lived, he saw a sign advertising window cleaning. As he stopped by, he noticed the Pelly, the Giraffe and the monkey. They were the new owners of the property but unfortunately they had run out of money and were starving. The Duke of Hamspshire saw the advert and requested a visit from them. The Duke was shocked when he realised who the window cleaners were. They helped pick some cherries, cleaned all the windows and even managed to catch a burglar known as Cobra. The Duke was so pleased that he offered them accommodation at his estate.
Billy was then offered the house and his own sweet shop. There were toffees, fudges, chocolates, Gumtwizzlers and Fizzwinkles from China, Frothblowers and Spitsizzlers from Africa and many more. During the grand opening of his shop he gave everyone free sweets and also had special treats for his dearest friends. The Duke was given some Scarlet Scorchdroppers from Iceland, the Giraffe a bag of Glumptious Globgobblers from Mecca, the Pelican a bag of Pishlets and the monkey was given a bag of Devil’s Drenchers.
I enjoyed reading this book and would like to recommend it to the rest of the class. Billy’s dream came true and he also formed special bonds with the Duke, the Giraffe, the Pelly and the monkey.
I love reading! Some of these comments will give me inspiration about what to read!

I am writing about a Ronald Dahl book named The Giraffe, The Pelican and Me. I started to read this on Friday, it’s about a boy named Billy who was walking down the street and saw a shop called the Grubber. His mum told him many stories about the Grubber, she used to say that the Grubber is an old sweet shop. The Grubber was sold to the ladder-less window company which include the giraffe, the pelican and the monkey. Billy started to work for them and the company gets a job washing the duke’s palace window. When they were doing their job they see a robber stealing some jewels and had him arrested. The book so far it’s very exciting and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Book: The Fantastic Mr Fox
Theme: Survival against the odds.
Target: Anyone who loves to see mean people
getting out witted.
What do you think when you read about people that have so much and yet are unwillig to share?
Does it make you cross? Well, it does me.
The human characters in the Fantastic Mr Fox are the most unlikeable, mean and greedy characters you’ll ever meet. With more than enough food to share, they become angry to discover a sly Mr fox has been helping himself to their livestock. Unable to catch the elusive fox they become obsessed with hunting him down. Their mission is to locate and kill but the fox is just to fantastic and smart.
If you like books that have you on the edge of your seat, wanting to turn the page but afraid to find out the worst, then you will love this story.
If you have read George’s Marvellous Medicine and thought that the evil gran got her ‘ just desserts’, then I highly recommend that you grab yourself a copy of the Fantastic Mr Fox today. It’s a real page turner.
Book Review: Matilda
Theme: Parents getting a taste of their own medicine
Target Audience: Children who like revenge!
Do you like the sound of revenge? Have you ever thought of a time when parents needed a taste of their own medicine? Well if this describes you then, this is your book! Matilda is a story that will make you laugh, cry and maybe even take you on an adventure through time! But one thing I know is that once you start reading, you wont be able to stop! Matilda, who is 6 1/2, wants to gain comeuppance on her mean, careless parents; one who is a crooked crook and another who is just plain stupid!
Read on to find out the plot of Matilda’s revenge and what she can get up to in her spare time. Because we all know, that one day anything could happen and dreams can come true. So remember if revenge is your thing, then read this five-star book that will maybe give you a trick or two that you can keep forever!
Matilda
The book I’m about to recommend to you is so mind-boggling that it will literally blow your mind! Matilda shows you how to get comeuppance on flawed characters when she messes with the evil Miss Trunchbull. Quiver as Miss Trunchbull’s unique reprimands of the children will really give you the itches!
I loved the part when Matilda arrives at Miss Trunchbell’s house and messes with her house belongings including her favourite chocolate box full of her gooey fudge balls. Matilda’s mother is very bizarre, but funny at the same time, as she always talks in her annoying voice and goes on and on about winning the bingo challenge every week.
I recommend this book to 8+ because the book is very challenging and can be very confusing but it’s as marvellous as George in George’s Marvellous Medicine – if you love reading all about the magic in the Magic Finger, then you will love reading Matilda as well!
The Magic Finger

Well, dear reader if you are interested then your one heart’s desire should be to read this book.
