Digging holes!

Lesson: English

Class: Y5/6 - Mrs Shimmin Year: 2017 - 2018

In Year 5/6, we have been reading the book 'Holes' by Louis Sachar. In the book, the main character Stanley is sent to a juvenille detention centre where he has to dig holes as a punishment. This week we are going to be writing instructions for how to dig a hole out on the dry 'lake bed' at Camp Green Lake so we had a go at digging a hole in the school grounds. It was very difficult! We could imagine how hard it would be for Stanley to have to dig a hole that is 5ft across in all directions and 5ft deep! All three Upper Junior classes had a go and we barely made a dint in the ground. Poor Stanley!
