A woodpecker sits on the fence but hasn’t gone on the table yet! Task: Go outside, close your eyes and listen for bird song, and see if you can spot birds in your garden, on your walks or in school.

Art Sunday 21st June is Father’s Day. This week I would like you to create a card of appreciation for your father, grandfather or someone else who is special to you. I would like you to have a go at drawing a portrait of the person whom the card is for. Think about the skills that you have learned at school when drawing your self-portraits, particularly the placement and proportion of facial features. This portrait could go on the front of the card and you could write a lovely message inside. Don’t forget to share your work on Purple Mash. I’m looking forward to seeing some of your special people in portrait form! - Mrs Painter
PHSE Discussion: Discuss the importance of how people should interact peacefully with each other despite their differences. Acknowledge that everyone has something positive to offer however different they may be. How can we have peace with people who are different from us? What would the world be like if everyone was the same? How can you show peace to other people? What is one thing you could do at home and school to promote peace in your family? Which animal represents Peace? Peacing it together: In your group/family, you are going to create a ‘peace’ animal. Each person will make /draw one part of the ‘peace’ animal. For example, the tail, leg, head …. Once they have been made, they will then be attached together to create their peace animal. Challenge – do not discuss with your group what the peace animal body parts should look like. Make it harder by making the peace animal 3D. - Mrs Butler

21st February
Dearest Diary¹,
Oh my² goodness! I’ve never been so frightened in all of my life!⁶ Yesterday¹⁰, I² was actually eaten by a wolf – that’s right⁵, eaten – and I² lived to tell the tale. Can you¹ believe it?³ Me², Red! Or ‘Little Red’, as everyone seems to want to say. Hmph.⁵
It all started when Mother sent me² on yet another one of her errands. Don’t get me wrong,⁵ I do love to visit Granny⁶, but is it really necessary to take baskets of food all of the time?³ She couldn’t get through this basket full of cupcakes even if she was having daily dinner parties with the whole village!⁴ And I do wish that mother wouldn’t pester me so⁶: “No dilly-dallying, keep to the path, and never ever talk to strangers. Do you hear me?”⁷
Pester, pester, pester.⁵
Anyway⁵, off I² skipped in the beautiful sunshine, down the path to the lane and through the forest, waving to the old woodcutter as I went.⁸ It was such a lovely day⁴; animals were scampering around on the ground and birds were chirping in the

trees. I got quite carried away, until I² heard a silky-sounding voice from the shadows.⁸
I knew right away that this was one of the wolves that Mother had warned me about⁶ – he was a very fine-looking gentleman with thick hair, bright eyes and very big, white teeth.⁸ He claimed that he knew Granny, and I’m ashamed to say that I believed him⁶, Diary¹. He must have been very, very clever, because even now, I can’t figure out how he knew where Granny lived.⁹
I was oh so hungry⁶, Diary¹, and the cunning wolf convinced me to stop for a snack. I² mean, my stomach was really, really gurgling!⁵ I really didn’t stray from the path for long, and of course⁹, I thought that I was perfectly safe!⁶ How wrong I was.
I arrived at Granny’s cottage without a care in the world, but when I walked through the door, my heart sank.⁶ Granny was sick! I could see hardly anything of her, so I leaned in close,⁸ and when I did – oh, Diary!¹ You wouldn’t believe her eyes!¹ Large and yellow⁸ – I was sure that she was deathly ill. When one long ear popped out from under her

nightcap, I thought that I should surely call for the doctor at once!⁶
But all that was nothing, Diary¹, compared with what I² saw next¹⁰. As she spoke to me¹⁰, Granny’s quilt slipped down to reveal a muzzle with long, sharp teeth.⁸ I thought that the bottom had dropped out of my stomach, and I began to shake so violently!⁶ I² said the first thing that came to me²:
“Oh, Granny, what big teeth you have!”⁷
I suppose that I thought that it might give me a little time to think of an escape plan, if I could convince the creature that his disguise was still working.⁹ However, as I² was about to clasp my² hand around the heavy, glass vase on Granny’s bedside table, the wolf’s huge mouth opened up and, in an instant, everything went black.⁸
I² was actually inside its belly! Ugh!⁵ Pitch black, slimy and extremely smelly, the inside of the wolf was the worst place that I have ever been.⁸ I² have no idea how long I² was there for, Diary¹ – too long. I wriggled and wrestled around in the strange, cramped space, but to no avail. I could hear

Granny’s muffled calls, and I could feel that she was near to me, but it was just too dark to see her!⁸
After what felt like hours¹⁰, I² heard the faint voice of the old woodcutter.⁸
“Anyone home? It’s only me, the woodcutter!”⁷ he called.
I² tried to scream, but the foul stench of the beast’s insides caught in my² throat. As I spluttered, I felt the wolf begin to move, and all at once, bright light burst through the dark, blinding me for a moment. I propelled myself towards it and fell with a splat onto the floor of Granny’s little cottage. As Granny tumbled out beside me, I gulped down fresh air before throwing my arms around our saviour.⁸
Once we were free¹⁰, Granny filled the beast with rocks. I know that it sounds a little extreme¹, but this way he will feel so full that he will never try to gobble up a human again!⁹ We sewed him up and kicked him back out of the door.⁸ I’d² say that there’s not much chance of him causing us trouble again any time soon!⁴
As you can imagine, Diary¹, Granny and the

woodcutter were not best pleased that I² had led a big, bad wolf to the cottage and had strayed from the path. At least I² could soften them up a little by giving them the cupcakes that Mother had sent me² with! Mother was not so easy to talk around. I² am not allowed to walk through the forest ever again in my entire life without her by my side. Oh well, I guess⁵ I won’t have to deliver food any more.⁶
I cannot wait to tell everyone in the village about this.⁶ Goldilocks will never believe it! It’ll be no more ‘Little Red’ – more like ‘Brave Red, the brilliant banisher of wolves’! Nevertheless, I² have learned to be far more careful who I talk to when I am out and about – perhaps when mother pesters me², I² should pay more attention… maybe...

Diary Writing Planning Template• When you write a diary, it is very easy to focus only on the events. However, this can make
your diary very dull and more like a list; it doesn’t allow the reader to truly understand the diarist.
• What makes a piece of diary writing really effective is allowing the reader to understand your thoughts and feelings, whether you are writing as yourself or using empathy to write as someone else.
• You may be asked to write a diary in any of your subjects and the same applies to all of them. Make notes in the frame below to help you plan.
What has happened? What are you writing about? Describe its sights and sounds. You could also use figurative language to help describe. Avoid writing too much; focus on one or two things.
How are you feeling? Consider using a range of words to express this? Use emotive language to help the reader understand.
What have you been thinking about? Do you have any particular worries or highlights? Is there anything you are looking forward to or perhaps you are dreading something?
Is there a particular anecdote you could share in your diary? An anecdote is a short, interesting story. You might use this to illustrate a point.
Diary Writing Checklist
include the date and/or time that the entry was written?
write in the first person?
use past tense for the main events?
use time conjunctions and adverbials?
tell events in chronological order?
use an informal style?
include personal emotions and feelings?
use paragraphs to organise my writing (including an introduction and conclusion)?
