 Use your plan to write your independent narrative about Alice's next adventure.

Use your toolkit and your plan!

The school bus was almost full when Leo climbed aboard. He walked slowly down the aisle, gripping his backpack straps. Every seat seemed taken except one - right at the back.

Leo hesitated. The back seat was famous for being noisy and crowded, but today it was strangely quiet. Taking a deep breath, he sat down. As the bus pulled away, Leo noticed something unexpected: the journey felt calmer than he had imagined.

R- Where was the empty seat on the bus?

I- What does the phrase “Taking a deep breath” suggest about how Leo was feeling?

C- Do you think Leo would choose to sit in the back seat again next time?
Explain your answer using evidence from the text.

 LC: To know how suffixes change the meaning of words meanings -ible, -able, -ibly, - ably.

Recall – Which suffixes do you remember from yesterday and how do they impact on the meaning of words?

Today's focus:

           ible, ibly , able, ably

Words ending in 'able' and 'ible' are adjectives.

What words do you know that end in these? (talk to you partners).

Words with the suffixes 'ibly' and 'ably' are adverbs and can modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb.

What words do you know that end in 'ibly' or 'ably'? (talk to your partners).

Activity: Read the following sentences and identify the suffixes. Then write your own sentence using that word.

• Anthea had a terrible cough which kept her awake at night.

• The swimming pool is not accessible to adults during school hours.

• The Queen in the Alice story was not a very likeable character.
