Have a look at the Curious Creature presentation (where it says ‘discuss with a partner’, just have a think on your own or talk to an adult about it).
Then have a go at matching the animal picture with its classification description.
Once you have done that-it’s time to get creative.  Create your own creature-start by thinking about its classification and think what features it will need to have. Complete the Curious Creature sheet.  the more creative you can be, the better.  Have fun!

English writing

Day 1 – Write a diary entry as Wallace at the beginning of the sketch.

Day 2 – What are the key features of the ‘Snoozatron’? Why have they been specifically chosen?

Day 3 – Create an advert for the ‘Snoozatron’.

Day 4 – Write a diary entry as Gromit after the eventful night.

Day 5 – What key features could you add to the ‘Snoozatron’? Explain why they would be useful. (E.g. Hot chocolate and marshmallows, lavender spray, white noise…)

Writing tasks

Day 1 – Retell the story using 3rd person.

Day 2 – Write the dialogue between Fox and Dr. Hammer adding correct punctuation.

Day 3 – Write the next adventure of Spy Fox using a different wild animal as the villain and including equally inept minions. We quite like the idea of a huge Ape – like King Louis in The Jungle Book – with cheeky monkey minions.

Day 4 – Create a newspaper report for the events outlined in the film.

Day 5 – Design a ‘Bond-like’ gadget that fox could use in his missions.
