Reading Read the following passage and underline all the words with the long ‘i’
sound, as in ‘fight’.
The young knight drew himself up to his full height and moved slowly
and carefully through the wood. The moon was quite bright and,
although it was nearly midnight, the knight could see well enough to
find his way. As he moved through the bushes, he groaned softly. He
had injured his arm while fighting on the battlefield earlier that day. It
had been bandaged, but the arm was swelling and the bandage had become too
tight. He might have to stop and re-bandage it, he thought to himself.
Suddenly, there was a slight rustle in the trees high above. Frightened, the knight
looked upwards. He caught sight of an owl in the branches and sighed with relief,
but then the owl caught fright and launched itself into flight. “What
frightened the owl?” wondered the young knight to himself. He was
frightened of being caught by his enemies, who he knew were hunting
him. He drew his knife and was ready to strike. But then he saw a light
shining through the trees. With delight, he realised that it was his own
men coming to rescue him.
Puzzle Read the clue and work out what the knight’s name was: Answer: ________
S O T O Take away one item he lost on the battlefield and
something which frightened him in the wood. What
remains will be his name.
