Monday 13 ^th January - Talk Homework

This week we will be reading the story ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’ and on Friday we will be writing the story from one of the seagulls’ viewpoints. Every day, Mr Grinling, the lighthouse keeper cleans and polishes his light to make sure it shines brightly at night. At lunchtime he tucks into a delicious and well-deserved lunch, prepared by his wife. But Mr Grinling isn't the only one who enjoys the tasty food. Will Mrs Grinling think of a way to stop the greedy seagulls from stealing the lighthouse keeper's lunch? You can listen to this story on the following website: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfkZpKh5rU8 

After watching the story please can you spend some time discussing:

*what happens in the beginning, middle and ending of the story

*why do the seagulls do what they do? How do they feel towards Mr Grinling? His wife?

*words to describe the sea, the weather, Mr Grinling, his wife, the lighthouse

*any WOW words in the story that they can use in their own writing on Friday.

Make notes in the treasury this week.  Please can you also support the children in learning these spellings this week:

which, when, made, for, girl, out
