  75. Now I've paused, destroyed here because I don't want to
  76. tell you what's happening there.
  77. But I want you to start getting imaginative now.
  78. Have a look at that picture there.
  79. Now. This story is OK.
  80. So far, there are lots of things that we could
  81. improve. There are lots of words like said, and that's
  82. quite boring.
  83. So what we're going to try and do and focus
  84. on over the next couple of weeks is improving this
  85. story on dhe, making it a bit more exciting.
  86. We know that the Children have gone back in time.
  87. Thio London We know that the Children have reached this
  88. brick wall, but let's make it a bit more exciting
  89. shall way.
  90. What I would like you to do today is have
  91. a look at the worksheet that I have made and
  92. attached for you.
  93. If I was a man, you'll be able to stay
  94. a little bit better.
  95. Um, you listen to the story of Victorian adventure read
  96. by May on I stopped on a cliffhanger.
  97. We're going to think about what's behind that wall.
  98. Now, I would like you to make a list of
  99. things, and I started you off already.
  100. I'd like you to make a list of ideas that
  101. you think could be on the other side off that
  102. brick wall.
  103. Okay, now I've got a little bit crazy, and I've
  104. thought of something really quite out there.
  105. I know that in London there is never going to
  106. be a huge jungle.
  107. But that was the idea I've decided to come up
  108. with. Okay?
  109. I wanted to use my imagination.
  110. I wanted to transport these Children to a really, really
  111. exciting part of this adventure.
  112. I wanted to give them something that they would remember.
  113. So for our adventure story over that brick wall, there
  114. could be a huge jungle filled with dangerous wild animals
  115. on tall trees that sway in the tropical breeze.
  116. So that's the thing that I think is behind the
  117. wall. And I've written it next to number one on
  118. this sheet.
  119. Okay, Now there are three points that are blank.
  120. So what, like you to dio is to think off
  121. a really, really amazing idea of whatever it is that
  122. could be behind this wall?
  123. Okay, If I go back to the previous picture, let
  124. me show you that ball again.
  125. Think about what the Children might see as they climb
  126. up this mossy brick wall on peer over the top.
  127. What do you think they might see?
  128. And what would be a really exciting thing to write
  129. about you could write about.
  130. Maybe they found a water park.
  131. Maybe they found a zoo.
  132. Maybe they found something else.
  133. Maybe they found a desert.
  134. Or maybe they found a crashed spaceship.
  135. It could be that you're taking your adventure to a
  136. new location, a new place.
  137. It could be that you're taking this adventure.
  138. Um, Thio an object.
  139. It could be like I said, a spaceship.
  140. It could be on abandoned ship or an abandoned house.
  141. Okay. Whatever ideas you come up with today, I would
  142. like you to make a list of them 123 on
  143. this sheet here, when you've chosen three potential things that
  144. could be over that brick wall, I'd like to choose
  145. your favorite and then write about it in a bit
  146. more detail, and I've had to go with my jungle
  147. idea. I'm gonna swell back.
  148. Thio. I put in the wrong place on our power
  149. point. I've had to go with this myself on Dhe.
  150. What the sentence starter over the tall, more secret wall
  151. there is, I've carried on, and you're going to carry
  152. on in the same way.
  153. Over the tall, mostly brick wall, there's a huge jungle.
  154. Wild animals are creeping in the shadows of the large,
  155. oval shaped leaves, ready to pounce on their prey.
  156. The air is hot and sticky, humid like a rainforest.
  157. There's a gentle breeze blowing through the trees and the
  158. sound of thunder rolling in.
  159. Parrots soar overhead, smoking at the ground below.
  160. Okay, so I've really built this picture of what it
  161. is that's over that wall I've chosen.
  162. My favorite idea of my favorite idea was the jungle.
  163. You might have chosen your favorite idea with something else.
  164. Maybe a hole into town, or maybe a beach.
  165. Whatever it is that you choose, you make sure that
  166. you have lots of adjectives.
  167. Like I have adjectives of words that describe Make sure
  168. also that you are clear with all of the things
  169. that you can see and hear.
  170. Okay, so I talked about what I can see the
  171. wild animals doing.
  172. You might want to talk about your hearing sense, being
  173. able to hear things you might want to talk about,
  174. the sense of smell that you've got as well.
  175. Okay, maybe you talk about how you're feeling in that
  176. environment. So lots and lots magic is really building this
  177. clear picture on what is over the other side of
  178. that wall.
  179. The Children are going to peer over.
  180. Okay, We're going to take this learning over the next
  181. few days into building our own adventure story on dhe.
  182. I hope that with a few cool ideas that you've
  183. come up with today will be able to get some
  184. really lovely ideas in play.
  185. So good luck.
