2. Make a timeline of the feelings of both girls for that Saturday, beginning with excitement in the morning and finishing with surprise and happiness at the end of the day.


3. Ask volunteers to take the roles of Pippa and Flo. Invite others to ask them questions about how they each won a cup.


4. Ask pupils to write a story about a similar mistaken time, place and/or activity and the way the characters cope with the unexpected.

Dangerous Trainers by Susan Gates

Next steps: when reading stories, think carefully about the different characters, what they might feel and why. Notice the ways in which authors develop character.






Ideas

1. Make a list of descriptions that portray the menace of the trainers, e.g. "big slurpy purple tongues". Underline the words that remind pupils of animals, e.g. "carnivorous". Discuss the imagination and feelings of the narrator in the story.


2. Find phrases in the text that make the trainers seem like ordinary trainers, e.g. "It's your fault, not your trainers." Compare Mum's common-sense response with the narrator's imagination and his brother's doubts.


3. Encourage children to recall strange events in dreams. Ask them to write or tell as much as they remember. Talk about the way a character can change in a dream, e.g. become brave.


4. Imagine who found the trainers on the bus. Write the story of what happened to 'The Trainers on the Bus.' Read the stories aloud and discuss which ones portray the dangerousness of the trainers.



====




Dangerous Trainers



1. Describe the dangerous trainers.

2. Why were the trainers dangerous?

3. What did the younger brother think the trainers
were doing at night?

4. What happened to the moth?

5. What did the mouse look like when it was tied up
in the laces?

6. Do you think the trainers were really moving
about by themselves?

7. Onomatopoeias are words that make the same
sound as when you say them eg. thud. Can you
find more onomatopoeias in the story?

Review of An Odd Job for Bob and Benny by Nick Warburton

Nansi Dingle, age 8, Powys, says:

"I liked it that there were lots of little exciting bits when you didn't know what was going to happen next. I liked the bit when Bob and Benny didn't understand the note and tried to get a bed for the elephant instead of a shed."

House Sparrow - HD Mini-Documentary








Transcript: "The House Sparrow is considered to be the most widely distributed bird on the planet. It is native to Europe, Asia and parts of Africa. It was also introduced to the Americas, New Zealand and Australia.

In North America it was introduced to several U.S. cities in the 1800s as a way to control pests and then quickly spread across the continent. This move was considered to be a mistake because the House Sparrow is an aggressive bird that will take over the nests of native species such as House Martins and Bluebirds.

These house sparrows have taken over abandoned cliff swallow nests.

The House Sparrow prefers human-affected areas such as urban, suburban and farm environments. It is rarely found in wilderness areas such as woods, grasslands or desert.

These sparrows prefer to eat seeds and grain, but will also feast on flowers and insects.

The House Sparrow is one of only three birds in the U.S. that is not protected by law from hunting. The other two are the Rock Pigeon and European Starling."

==========

BLURB


One of the presents causes trouble on Prince Albert's birthday.



===

What is the story about?

When Queen Victoria asks her butler to get a beaver hat for Prince Albert's birthday, he doesn't hear her properly, and gets a real beaver instead. queen Victoria is not amused, but Prince Albert and their children all want to keep it, until it chews up the furniture to build a dam in their home. They then take the beaver to a zoo, and Prince Albert vows never to have another hat made from beaver skin. Queen Victoria asks the butler to get a bowler hat instead, but he mis-hears again, leaving us to imagine what happens next.



Talk together

====

Look at the cover and read the title together. Ask, "What do you think the story will be about? Is it a modern story or set in the past?" LOOK through the book together, focusing on the illustrations , and identity the characters and when it takes place.


READ THE STORY


====



Encourage your child to read the story aloud to you, and join in with the enjoyment.


If your child misreads words, ask him/her to reread the sentence and check it makes sense, but don't let your child struggle for long or he/she may lose the sense of the story.


Encourage your child to notice the punctuation of spoken words, and to read with expression, eg. raising voice tone at the end of a sentence with a question mark, and emphasising when there is an exclamation mark.

When your child encounters unusual words and phrases, eg. 'trifle heavy' (page 4), 'spiffing' (page 9), parlour (page 15), ask him/her to suggest their meaning. Explain that these words and phrases were more common in Victorian times.


On page 9, ask your child to suggest why 'DONG' is written in increasingly large print. Encourage your child to read words in capital letters with emphasis.


At the end of the book, ask your child what he/she enjoyed most about it.



PLAY A GAME..

===

Speaking like a QUEEN

This game will help your child read dialogue with expression suited to the characters.


Talk with your child about the characters in the story.

Ask your child, "What sort of people are Queen Victoria, James, Albert, and Alice?"

Reread the dialogue from the story, taking it in turns to read each character's spoken words in an expression voice.

Emphasise the differences to make the reading more dramatic.


OTHER IDEAS



Talk about Victorian times with your child, and if possible, find other books and stories from the same period for him/her to read.


Look through the story and ask your child to retell it in his/her own words, using the illustrations.

The Boss Dog of Blossom Street

1. I think a boss dog is a dog that is in charge of

the street.

2. As boss dog Snap had to make sure that the dogs

and cats on the street were in their places.

3. Snap thought he should move with Ada and Harry

because dogs stay with their owners. He thought

he should stay at Blossom Street because he was

the boss dog.

4. I think Snap didn’t like his new home because he

Florence Nightingale

Paper Summary:
This paper discusses how Florence Nightingale was a complex woman, largely responsible for the state of nursing as we know it today. For all of her efforts, she was a product of her upbringing. She had amazing success with changing the hospital conditions in Crimea and establishing the nursing profession as a respectable one before becoming a recluse upon her return to England. This paper highlights some of the events of Florence Nightingale's life."
From the Paper:
"Florence Nightingale was born to an upper middle class family, the daughter of two disillusioned and liberal Unitarians. Florence's mother was the daughter of an abolitionist who sat in the House of Commons. Her father was a wealthy "country gentleman" who had once fought for Parliamentary reform (Bostridge 4)."


======================


Florence Nightingale was the daughter of a well-to-do family in England. They wanted her to become a socialite * ; to learn to give big parties and serve tea. Florence, however, had other plans. When she told them she didn't want this kind of life, her parents became very angry and her sister went into hysterics * .

By the time she was 12, she was determined to "do something worthwhile". She liked books. She enjoyed caring for sick farmers on her father's estate. Once she even saved the life of an old shepherd's dog that had broken its leg.

At the age of 16, she was sure that God was calling her to serve others. She used every spare minute to learn from nursing books she had secretly obtained. She visited hospitals in London and the surrounding area.

Her parents didn't want her working in those "dirty" hospitals, but she was determined. They did many things to try to change her mind. Her sister pretended to have fainting spells. Her mother accused her of being immoral * .

She finally reached an agreement with her father. If he would let her go to Kaiserwerth (KI zer wirth) hospital in Germany to study, she wouldn't tell anyone her plans. This way, her family wouldn't have to be "embarrassed" * by her actions.

She was an excellent student, and after her graduation, she returned to London and got a job running a hospital.

During the Crimean (cry ME un) War, she was put in charge of nursing. She went to the battlefield with 38 nurses. The hospital was a huge, dirty barracks * building. She got men to clean it up and managed to get the supplies they needed.



Nightingale diagram showing
causes of death in the war
She carried a lamp as she walked the halls of the battlefield hospital and became known as the "lady with the lamp".

She saved thousands of lives. People called her a ministering angel in the hospitals, but she herself became ill with a disease she got there.

In her later years she was not able to travel, but people came to her from all over the world for her advice.

During the Civil War, the United States asked her advice about setting up military hospitals.

She became known as the founder * of modern nursing.
