L.O. To identify how characters have changed over the course of a story READ/LISTEN Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 e.g. Mark At beginning of story, he gets easily wound up and loses his temper easily. We know this because when Barry Hunter steals his pencil case, he throws himself at Barry screaming and howling with tears of rage, clawing and kicking and yelling and trying to tear out clumps of his hair. At the end, Mark has learned not to lose his temper but to turn things into a joke when people try to wind him up. We know this because when Barry throws a cardboard box at him and it lands on his head, he pretends to be a robot gone wrong and everybody is laughing with him rather than at him. |
Complete a table to show the change in the main characters Chapter Eight Chapter Nine |

The Story of the Little Mole (Who Knew it was None of his Business) |
Wednesday R.E If you have a Bible at home find the Old and New Testaments. Find Genesis 6:5–9:17. |
PEOPLE OF GOD - What is it like to follow God? We are going to be looking at the stories in the Old Testament which happened many years before Jesus was born. They often focus on the friendship between the main characters and God. The People of God in the Old Testament try to live in the way God wants, following his commands and worshipping him. They believe he promises to stay with them and Bible stories show how God keeps his promises. Key question: What was it like for Noah and his family to follow God? Use the easier version of the Bible if you want to read the story. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=genesis+6+&version=ERV |
Watch the video of Noah from Genesis 6:5–9:17. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCpojVd9Qr4 God in the Noah story was trying to do away with evil in the world and make it a better place. Fill in your thoughts to these questions: |
