On Monday morning, Sam rushed into school and dropped his bag by the door. At playtime, he reached inside to get his lunch but his lunchbox was gone. Sam felt worried because his mum had packed his favourite pasta. He thought carefully about his morning. He remembered leaving the lunchbox on the kitchen table while he tied his shoes. Sam decided to check the school office in case someone had handed it in. On the way, he saw his friend Leo holding a blue lunchbox. Leo smiled and said, “Is this what you’re looking for?” Sam laughed with relief.
R- Where did Sam leave his lunchbox at home?

LC: Evaluate how authors use figurative language, considering the impact on the reader.

An example of this is the use of metaphors.

ACTIVITY: Write down the effect these metaphors have on the reader, e.g. for interest, for power or just description:

Know about how resources are allocated and the effect this has on individuals, communities and the environment.
What are Community Resources?
The term 'community resources' covers a wide range of things that are potentially helping the community.
This could be anything as long as it provides assistance or a service to the members of the local area.
To put it simply, community resources include people, places, activities and things.
They could be businesses, organisations, public service institutions or individuals in the community.
What resources are there in our community?
Community resources can be funded in a variety of ways. They can be run by completely non-profit groups or by the government, businesses or just one person.
As long as something is supporting a community, a smaller group of it or even one single individual, that thing or person counts as part of community resources.
