Holes – Louis Sachar
We have been continuing to read and analyse Holes by Louis Sachar and aim to have read it all by the end of this Spring term. This would mean that we can compare the book with the movie. It is always interesting to discuss why some features of the book were not included in the film, and if the characters were as they imagined they would be. Using the book for inspiration, we have been writing non-chronological reports about the elusive and deadly Yellow Spotted Lizard as well as writing descriptive and emotive letters from the campers of Camp Green Lake back to their parents. We have also discussed how racial prejudice affects some of the characters; Mr. Walton then came to speak to us about this very emotive issue, helping us to understand about equality and diversity.
