Good morning Primary 5! I hope that you are all doing well and enjoying spending lots of time with your families! Today to keep active you could follow one of the dance tutorials on GoNoodle: https://family.gonoodle.com/. If dancing is not your thing why not try some yoga? Cosmic Kids has lots of tutorials on their YouTube channel 🧘🏼🧘🏽: https://www.youtube.com/user/CosmicKidsYoga/videos

Today we will be working on comprehension!
Wednesday 25th March
Comprehension
I can demonstrate my understanding of a text by making an inference.
Warm Up:
Watch the following BBC bitesize clip to remind yourself about the skill of inference. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zs44jxs/articles/zqmyw6f
Remember inference is all about using what you have read to make a good guess!
Main Task:
It had grown busy while I had been in the water. Deck chairs had been dragged out. Families had pitched little tents. Balls, Frisbees and kites seemed to be everywhere. Hundreds of adults were just laid there, rigid on their towels while the children ran around shouting and squealing irritatingly.
It always got like this at the weekend. I had warned Granddad. It would have been better to have come in the evening when all the crowds had gone home. I sighed. Granddad seemed oblivious, sat in his chair reading his book, his feet buried in the sand.
The sun was at its height and beat down mercilessly.
“Perhaps you should put some cream on Granddad,” I said with concern.
1) Where is the scene set? Find evidence from the text to support your answer (use quotes).
2) Why did the narrator think it would have been better to have come in the evening?
3) Why is the narrator concerned about Granddad?
4) Do you think the narrator is having fun? Explain your answer.
5) Would you like to be there? Explain your answer referring to the text (quote from text).
Extension:

The last thing that I wanted to tell you about before I let you go is the BBC school radio website. There is lots to have a listen to; from music lessons where you can learn about what all the different instruments sound like, to audio stories, history lessons and French lessons (we listened to some of these already this year, do you remember radio Labo?). There is enough on there to keep you busy for months! Have an explore and learn more about something that interests you: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/audio-stories/zh3t2sg
Have a great day!
