Core Subject - Literacy.
Part 1 ( 30 mins) I would like you to write the Story of the Backwards Day ! This will help you to practise your use of the past perfect tense,that we looked at before half term. Read my example below:
By the time I fell, exhausted, into bed last night I had had the most difficult day ever. Dinner had not really been the problem, despite the fact that the dog had jumped up and gobbled up the roast before we could stop him. Before that event, things had already taken several wrong turns. During the afternoon, I had managed to fuse all the lights in the house when I was supposed to have been fixing the electrics.
Please write a short paragraph ( taking approx 30 minutes) that works backwards, explaining a day - remember you can make it up ! The purpose is to use past perfect tense. This describes events in the past, before another event e.g. before getting into bed, I had already had a difficult day, according to the example above. The auxiliary verb 'had' is often a 'helper' here.
Part 2 ( 30 mins) - Please read the attached text ( there are copies available in school) ready for our lesson on Weds.
We are going to be learning about Action Texts. This comes from the Young Bond book 'Hurricane Gold'. In the story, the young James Bond is hidden in a house while a storm rages around. The occupants of the house are being held hostage.

It will give you some examples of what you might like to include on your front page e.g. hyperlinks to other websites, embedded video.
Your page will need to have :
