Wow, what a great start!
In Literacy Grade 5 have been studying the beautiful book 'The Butterfly Lion' written by Michael Morpurgo. We have written and acted out play-scripts where they have enacted Bertie meeting Millie and other important scenes.
Also, Grade 5 have compiled glossaries using dictionaries, written letters and incorporated difficult speech and punctuation into their writing not to mention writing character profiles and chapter summaries. Well done Grade 5!
The Butterfly Lion, written by Michael Morpurgo, is the story of Bertie who rescues an orphaned lion cub whilst growing up in South Africa. However, when he’s sent back to England to go to boarding school, the young cub is sold to a circus.
Both boy and cub miss the bond which has grown between them and Bertie vows he will see his friend again. Little does he know the adventurous, romantic, shocking turns his life will take before that day finally comes.
