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.
