This term we will start by looking at a new text 'Letters from the Light House' by Emma Carroll.
Here is Chapter 1 for you to enjoy:
After reading can you answer the following questions:
Why do you think Emma chooses to describe the bombs falling as ‘like pennies from a jar’?
What type of description is this?
• Using your prior knowledge of the war, why did no one throw food away at this time?
• Mimic what you think is Olive’s usual facial expression.
• What is the name of the cinema?
• What do you think Olive’s dad meant when he said ‘look for the light?
• The film stopped ‘abruptly’. What does this mean? • What phrase shows Olive is acting brave for Cliff.
• What stopped Olive from reaching Sukie?
• What impression do you get of Olive so far? What impression do you get of Sukie?
• Predict what might happen next.
