Think and write….• Look at this picture. What words and
sentences does it make you think of? We are going to write a short piece based on the picture, using the following pattern of sentences:
Sentence 1 Write using the present tense
(the verb should end with ‘ing’)
Sentence 2 Use an ‘ment’ suffix word
Sentence 3 Include an adverb
(an adverb describes the verb)
Sentence 4 Extend using the conjunction ‘or’
Read through your passage carefully – does it include everything we are looking for?

Think and write…. Here’s an example of what you could have thought and written…
There is a hermit crab creeping along the sand.
I gasped in amazement when I saw the crab.
Cautiously, the crab poked its head out of the shell.
Does the crab look dangerous or is it harmless?

The outing!Read the writing below and then answer the questions. You will need to use your inference skills.
“But I didn’t do anything.” Alex muttered under his breath as he stomped off to the car.
Alex got the blame for lots of things because he was the oldest and should know better. There was sand all over the
picnic lunch and as he opened the car door, his two brothers ran out into the waves, laughing and shouting.
Why do you think Alex is upset? How do you know? Can you think of a word that you could use instead of ‘stomped’? Why did he mutter
‘under his breath’? What does this mean? Where might they be? Why didn’t he go swimming with his brothers? Why were they laughing and shouting?
