Year 3 – Monday 23rd March 2020
Reading:
Read the text below and write a summary of the events in the comments section:
Grey flakes fall from the clouds, thick and fast now, as though the sky itself is breaking into pieces and tumbling down to the ground. My frantic paws barely skim the unploughed earth as I race towards the town and I’m just yards from a vegetable patch when –
BOOM.
The mountain roars. The sound fills my insides as though it is rolling through every dog, tree, rock and two-leg: a heavy, impossible sound that I feel in my bones. The mountain’s fury tears great claw marks across the earth and bundles me off my feet, pulling down walls and toppling olive trees. I pant desperately through the dust, and dart away just in time to avoid a wooden roof as it slides downwards and crumbles on impact with the ground. I feel my legs trembling and I wonder if Claudia was right – maybe I should be saving myself.
Steeling myself, I glance back at the fields that were once my home…
…and the sight of what dominates the sky roots me to the spot.
Maths:
My coat has three different buttons.
Sometimes, I do them up starting with the top button. Sometimes, I start somewhere else.
Hints and Tips
- Do you always have to start with the same button?
- How will you remember the ways you’ve found?
- Use 3 objects as pretend buttons.
