TALK HOMEWORK

Monday 2nd December

This week we will be writing a diary entry from a fictional character called Toby.  Today we have read the story ‘Toby and The Great Fire of London’ although Toby is a fictional character, the subject is based on real events from The Great Fire of London.

Here is a short summary of the story:
Master is cross when Toby forgets a delivery for Mr Pepys.  As Toby races across the city he sees the sky is full of flames – London is burning! Can he find Mr Pepys quickly and help save London from the fire?

This week please can you spend time talking about:
·       what Toby might have seen?
·       the things he may have heard while rushing through the streets
·       the smells from the fire
·       his thoughts and feelings during the day
This written piece will form part of their end of term assessment so the more talk they do the better!

Spellings for this week are: from, see, must, been, just
