Year 2 23/09/20 English home learning

Hi Year 2. Today, I would like you to use the plans that you created yesterday to help you retell the ‘Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’ story.

Please use the fronted time adverbials (time openers) that you have on your plan to start your first sentence about each picture. Don’t worry if you haven’t got them, choose some from the green section on the wordbank further down the page.

I have created a short video below to help you with your learning and to make progress. I am sure though, that your sentences will be much more exciting than mine! I did use an expanded noun phrase (two adjectives and a noun) in my sentence so if you spot it, write it in the comments please.

If you choose to use paper to write your sentences or to retell the story, please sent a photo of it to Y2upload@broadheath.coventry.sch.uk

    One day the lunch was spotted by three scavenging seagulls. The seagulls where hungry for food. The next morning Mr and Mrs Grinling rapped their brains up for another idea. They tied their basket up.

    There was once a lighthouse keeper named Mr. Grirling. He lived with his wife and cat in a hut on a cliff.He went every day without taking care of him.Mr. Grirling did many goodies, which she sent in a basket on Mr. Grirling`s porch.On day some happened to the seagulls eating the food and it was left without food.The next day he thought of covering the basket with a napkin but they put the napkin aside and ate the food.The next day they devised another plan they put the cat in a basket hoping that they would be sacred they would not eat the food,but it was not like that.On the third day they made some sandwiches and put mustard in them.This plan resulted in the seagulls did not like the taste of the food and since the Mr. Grirling has been able to eat his food.

      Well done Haarun. Remember that Mrs Grinling and Mr Grinling are names so they should have a capital G.

      Well done Haarun for retelling in the story. Make sure you use a capital letter for Grinling.

    Every morning Mr Grinling rode his dingy to the tall, shiny, stripy lighthouse to clean and polish the light inside the lighthouse. When ever it is lunch time Mrs Grinling makes lunch for Mr Grinling as usual Mrs Grinling made his lunch and put it in a basket and sent it down to the light house but the lunch didn’t arrive it was spotted by three scavenging seagulls who devoured it and left not a single crumb left in the basket. When the basket arrived at the light house Mr Grinling was irritated he cleaned the light of the light house when he arrived in the little cottage he groaned because he was starving he asked Mrs Grinling to make some food for him because he never got to eat lunch. This happened for the past few weeks and they tried to stop the seagulls from eating his lunch but they could not stop them from eating his lunch. O ne day Mrs Grinlings had an idea Mr grinling asked what it was she said wait and just wait and see. The morning arrived and Mrs Grinling put mustard inside his sandwich it was extra hot mustard Mr grinling went past her and said it was a great idea when he left the house to clean and polish the light it was soon lunch time and Instead of a yummy meal as usual Mrs grinlings put the mustard sandwich inside the basket and the seagulls ate it. “YUCK” all three seagull exclaimed this is terrible. when the seagulls left Mrs grinling put yummy food for Mr Grinling.The next day Mr grinling went off to the light house and when it was lunchtime Mrs Grinlings put Mustard sandwich again and when it went down the seagull came and ate it “YUCK” two of them exclaimed the leader said”this is the same as yesterdays lunch boys come on lets go somewhere else for lunch this is horrible”. The seagulls flew away and Mrs grinling gave Mr grinling food
    the next day instead of mustard sandwich she put yummy food in and the seagulls never came back to eat Mr Grinlings lunch again.

      You have used some super vocabulary in your story, but you need to think carefully about your sentences. Remember to use capital letters to show the beginning of your sentence and full stops to show the end.

      When the basket arrived at the light house Mr Grinling was irritated he cleaned the light of the light house

      When the basket arrived at the light house, Mr Grinling was irritated so he cleaned the light.
