Class Text: Town by the Sea- Joanne Schwartz, Sydney Smith
Below is the narrative that the author used.
'When I wake up, it goes like this... First I hear the seagulls,
then I hear a dog barking, a car goes by on the shore road, someone slams a door and shouts good morning. And, along the road, Lupins and Queen Anne's lace rustle in the wind.
First thing I see when I look out the window.....is the sea.'
Watch the book being read.

Work with an adult to discuss what the setting must be and discuss how your experience may be at home.
Have a look at my teacher model and then have a go at creating your own ideas. Write your own and include your writing targets. Make sure you write to me and show me your writing.
Teacher Model.
'When I wake up it goes like this....
First I hear the neighbours’ dogs barking for their morning walks. I smell the strong aroma of the coffee pot wafting up the stairs, then I hear ravenous geese, with empty stomachs, squawk from the side of the canal.
Across the street, a car engine roars loudly on the shore road, someone dramatically slams a door.
Out of my bedroom window, the first thing I see is rows and rows of houses.. The gentle wind send morning whispers across the town and the daffodils dance in the sunlight ahead of me.
Stretch yourself and add a plural apostrophe and a metaphor!
Once you have done that write it up neatly and create a piece of artwork to show your home setting and write your setting on the image.
Learning Challenge: Can I write a piece of dialogue?
Class read- Matilda
In the story, we have been learning about how inappropriate and neglectful Matilda’s parents were. I want you to think of some dialogue that could be written between Miss Honey and Mr and Mrs Wormwood.
First of all, draft out your ideas. Write down examples of what they could say to each other. For example;
‘Mr Wormwood! I need to talk to you about Matilda!’ – (Miss Honey)
‘Listen Miss Honey…I don’t need you coming here telling me what to do!’ –(Mr Wormwood)
Focus on your target
Yellow, Orange, Blue group-
4.9- I can use speech punctuation correctly, including punctuation before I close my speech marks. (NC)
Red, Green-
3.10- I can use inverted commas when someone is speaking or when someone is being spoken to.
Use the speech, speech, description, speech format to write your dialogue. We have done this before in class.
I will model one and use the attached file for guidance.
Please, please send these to me! I will wait eagerly!

TEACHER MODEL- SSDS
‘Please can I come in and speak to you about Matilda? I think she is the most remarkable little girl I have ever met!’ Miss Honey exclaimed.
‘I haven’t got time now! Can you not see I am trying to watch my program?’ spat Mr Wormwood.
Matilda ran up the stairs feeling utterly dejected.
‘I think you need to listen! You can’t parent like this!’ demanded Miss Honey.
Now you have a go!
