Spring Term House Points
The David Williams Challenge - No No Noe
Every day David Walliams will read aloud an extract from his book and we will set tasks for each year group to complete.
Your task:
YR – Noe’s favourite word is “no”, what is your favourite word? Why do you like it? Can you create a list of your top ten words?
Y1 – Noe thinks “yes” is a boring word. Can you think of any boring words? Can you improve them? For example, big -> colossal.
Y2 – Can you write a set of school rules that would confuse Noe?
Y3 – Can you write your own story using one of the other characters in the story, perhaps Raj the newsagent, or Mr Potts the Caretaker?
Y4 – Can you draw and write a comic-strip version of the story, to re-tell the key events?
Y5 – Can you create a ‘story mountain’ plotting the setting, build-up, problem, resolution and ending of the story?
Y6 – Write a diary entry from the point of view of one of the other characters in the book, for example, Mr Gubbins the Headteacher.
If you need an extra challenge:
Can you draw a picture of the different settings in the story, such as the school and the newsagents?
Don’t forget to send your work to stanmoresupport@stanmoreprimary.com and your work will be forwarded to your teacher!
Look out tomorrow after lunch for your next set of challenges.

All is well with the aquatic creatures
Mrs. Horkan wanted to let Birch class know that Sonic and Lightening, the Birch class fish are being well looked after by Mr. Foard, the school site manager.
He is also making sure that the tadpoles are well fed and will be released back into the pond when they develop their legs.
Making use of our grounds and exploring art
The children in school looked at Andy Goldsworthy's work and then created their own artworks inspired by his sculptures using natural materials they found in our grounds. They set up an open air museum and presented their creations. We think they are really wonderful.
The David Williams Challenge - Nigel Nit-Boy
Every day David Walliams will read aloud an extract from his book and we will set tasks for each year group to complete.
Your task:
YR – Can you build an insect or animal out of lego? What adventures might they get up to? Could you explain your ideas to a grown up?
Y1 – Can you draw your own super villain, what powers might they have? Is there a way to defeat them?
Y2 – Write down some rhyming words linked with the story – eg nit, hit, hair, care. Can you write a poem about Nigel using these words?
Y3 – Can you find out information about nits and create an information leaflet for children at school? Remember to use subheading and maybe even a diagram (ergh).
Y4 – Write a diary entry from the point of view of Henderson the nit. Think about how he feels about these other nits joining Nigel’s hair and why he does what Nigel says.
Y5 – Why do you think David Walliams includes sound effects on this story? Does it make the story more enjoyable? Why? What other sound effects could he have used?
Y6 – How could Nigel use his powers for good? Can you write a different ending where Nigel is persuaded to use his nits to make the world a better place? Don’t forget to use paragraphs accurately (new topic, new time, new person, new place).
If you need an extra challenge:
Can you bake some biscuits in the shape of what you think a nit might look like? (yuck)
Don’t forget to send your work to stanmoresupport@stanmoreprimary.com and your work will be forwarded to your teacher!
Look out tomorrow after lunch for your next set of challenges.
