Tuesday 2nd June

English L.O To write Rosalind's diary entry from the day of the kidnapping.

Activity 1: Listen to Chapter 10 of 'The Stolen Sister' on the Learning --> Stories page of the website.

In this chapter, Lizzie tells Elfie and Joe what Rosalind has described on the day of her kidnapping. We have a rough description of the kidnappers and the place Rosalind was kept prisoner during her kidnapping.

Activity 2: Write a short diary entry (minimum of 2 paragraphs) from Rosalind's perspective on the day of her kidnapping. Rosalind is a nine-year-old girl who is very much used to the finer things in life. She is educated at a prestigious school and lives a very happy and comfortable life with her mother and father in London. Imagine how terrified she must be after being mercilessly taken away from all she knows and held prisoner in a place she doesn't know with people she has never met, who don't treat her kindly. Your entry, more than anything, should indicate to the reader the abundance of emotions she felt on this dreadful day!

A diary entry should:
  • Be written in the past tense (remember to use past tense verbs).
  • Be written in first person (using pronouns such as I, me, we).
  • Discuss how the character feels whilst describing the events which have taken place.
  • Include adverbials to sequence events (e.g 'this morning, 'next', 'after that', 'hours later etc.).

P.E.

At a time where we all find ourselves indoors for the most of the day, we should bear in mind how important daily exercise is for our health and wellbeing, particularly our mental health. If you are able to, take your device somewhere with plenty of space (even the garden on a nice sunny day) or clear some space in front of your computer and follow along with Joe Wicks for a 30 minute workout. I will definitely be doing the same!
