Inquiry into Language

Students We FINISHED our novel study of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We read the last chapter and answered comprehension questions.

Charlie's Chocolate Factory

• Still high in the sky in the great glass elevator, Willy Wonka asks Charlie if he loves the factory he just saw. Of course he does! Who wouldn't?
• Well, it's a good thing he likes it, because it's going to be his. That's right, Willy Wonka plans to give Charlie the factory.
• Neither Charlie nor Grandpa Joe can believe what they're hearing. But Mr. Wonka explains.
• When he gets older, he wants someone he trusts to take over the factory – and more particularly, he wants a child to do it. And out of all the children who toured the factory, he liked Charlie best (not to mention, he's the only one who didn't get into mischief).
• They still can't believe it, but before they know it, Willy Wonka is insisting that they take the elevator to Charlie's house to fetch the rest of his family. And off they go.
• On the way, Charlie worries about the logistics of it all, but Mr. Wonka assures him that "Nothing is impossible! You watch!" (30.24)
• Before they know it, they're crashing through yet another room – this time the roof of Charlie's house. The whole family inside is scared out of their minds, but then Charlie and Grandpa Joe quickly explain the situation, and introduce them to Mr. Wonka.
• Even though they resist, Willy Wonka gets them all into the elevator and off it goes again.
• Charlie tries to calm them down by telling them how wonderful the factory is and, of course, how they'll never go hungry again.

Students then created their own candy to be created in Wonka's factory 

 

Inquiry into Cultures through Art

Today students coloured pictures of boys and girls from all around the world in their traditional dress.

We ended our day by having gym class with Ms. Yustin, you can check out her blog at https://sjaayustin.blogspot.ca/

Math

Students worked on using their prior knowledge of coins and problem solving skills to answer two questions in their workbooks.

Inquiry into Language

Students worked in their spelling books on their words of the week

We continued our novel study of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We read 2 chapters and answered comprehension questions. 

Only Charlie Left

• After Mike Teavee's incident, Charlie is the only child left, and when Mr. Wonka realizes this – well, he probably knows already, but when he admits to realizing this – he tells Charlie he's won. Won what?
• Mr. Wonka starts off on another of his chatty rants, talking about all the things that need to get done and the arrangements that need to be made and... what is he talking about?
• Charlie can tell that something crazy is about to happen, but he's just thrilled, as is Grandpa Joe.
• Suddenly, they are back on the elevator and Mr. Wonka is pressing the button labeled "UP AND OUT" (28.10). It shoots straight up in the air.
• Willy Wonka admits that he's never had the chance to press this button until now, because he hadn't wanted to break a big hole in the roof of the factory. Uh oh. You can guess what that means.
• Sure enough, the elevator crashes through the ceiling – yikes. But then it just stops, floating in mid-air, towering over the entire town. It is powered by sugar power. (We wonder what the ratio is of sugar power to horsepower, but it must be high for that thing to hover.)
• And from the sky, they can see all the other children returning home.

The Other Children Go Home

• Looking down, they see all the other children leaving the factory.
• They aren't going home empty handed, though: waiting for each of them was the promised lifetime supply of sweets, by the truckload. 
• All the children look a little different: Augustus is thin, Violet is purple, Veruca is covered in garbage, and Mike Teavee is tall and skinnier than ever.
• As always, Willy Wonka is pretty optimistic about everyone's state, but he quickly presses another button on the elevator – he has something important to discuss with Charlie.
