L.O: To make inferences about characters and events using evidence from the text.
We are continuing our work on stories by the same author. We are going to look at our last book by Simon Bartram " Dougal's Deep Sea Diary". Read the book with your grown up and talk about what is happening.
Today, we are going to look closely at the text and think about how the characters are feeling, what they are saying and why they are saying it. We will also look at what is happening in the story and how sometimes other things are happening but it doesn't always tell us through the words. We sometimes have to work out how someone is feeling, why they said something and what is REALLY happening. We use clues and evidence from the words and pictures- this is called inference. You have to be like a detective looking for the answers/clues.
Work through the questions below to help you work out how the characters are feeling and what is happening. Write your answers down in your work book. Write each day as a sub heading.

L.O: To begin to understand the importance of the Bible for Christians.
Watch the powerpoint on the Bible and look at the pictures below. Talk to your grown up about them.
For Christians, the Bible is God’s special book. It is all about how much God loves and cares for people.
Grown ups- please help your child to read the paragraphs below.
The Bible is the most important book that Christians use because it is God’s Word, so it is always treated with reverence. Like all special books we take care of it, make sure our hands are clean before we use it and keep it in a safe place.
There are two main sections in the Bible. The Old Testament tells us about the time before Jesus. The New Testament tells us about Jesus and the beginning of the Church. Some of the books are called by the name of the person thought to have written them: Mark, Jeremiah, Peter. Some are named after the person the story is about: Job, Ruth, Jonah. One is called after an event: Exodus. Others tell you about the content of the book: Genesis (Beginnings), Psalms, Proverbs, Letters. The Bible is like a library of different books, (refer to the work of Explore).
