READING TASK:
Reading Detective Task (Question Master) - “I wonder...”
Your role is to write down a few questions that you have about this part of the book. What were you wondering about while you were reading? Did you have questions about what was happening? Or what a word meant? Or what a character did and why? Or what was going to happen next? Or why the author used a certain style? Or what the whole thing meant? Just try to notice what you are wondering while you read and jot down some of these questions, either along the way or after you have finished.
We hope you are enjoying the time to read some new personal reading books. Thankfully, there are books available online if you have run out of reading materials at home. You may have finished reading the books you took home from the school and class library. It is possible to join Edinburgh Library if you aren’t already a member https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/libraries/join-library. Edinburgh Libraries have a full collection of online fictional and factual books. Did you know they also have a wide collection of magazines?
Have you found a favourite place in the house/garden to read?
A poem to enjoy from one of our favourite books, The Lost Words, Robert Macfarlane & Jackie Morris
DandelionDazzle me, little sun-of-the-grass!
And spin me, tiny time machine!
(Tick tock, sun clock, thistle and dock)
Now no longer known as
Dent-de-Lion, Lion’s Tooth or Windblow,
(Tick tock, sun clock, nettle and dock)
Evening Glow, Milkwich or Parachute, so
Let new names take and root, thrive and grow,
(Tick tock, sun clock, rattle and dock)
I would make you some, such as
Bane of Lawn Perfectionists
Or Fallen Star of the Football Pitch
or Scatterseed but
Never would I call you only, merely, simply “Weed”.
(Tick tock, sun clock, clover and dock)
Keep working hard. Do your best and BE KIND. I hope you go on some adventures or learn some truly amazing facts in the books you read this week. Take care – and enjoy sharing stories. Please email us if you have any questions. Kindest wishes.
