1. Listen to a story
- Listen to the last part of Sinbad’s Fifth Voyage
Start the story from 11.15, watch until the end.
- Use Sinbad and the Coconuts to re-tell the story in four scenes. Decide the most important scenes and show them with words and pictures.
2. Read another version of the story
- Read Usborne – Sinbad.
- This is a different version than the one that Wilf told. Write the differences and similarities that you spot on the Comparison Table. Which version do you prefer? Why?
3. Now for some writing
- Choose one of the Sinbad Illustrations.
- Write down this part of the story. What has happened before the illustration? What will happen after it?
- Use conjunctions in your story to join clauses and prepositions to add description to your writing.

Today we are thinking about anticipation. This means excitement about something that is going to happen in the near future or a feeling of preparing for something to happen.
First we are going to relax our bodies and minds in our Calm-ME-Time.
Sit on a chair and ask a grown-up to do this with you.
Calm me 3
When we look forward to something, it can help us feel positive – we can feel excited and hopeful; and sometimes those positive feelings can help keep us going us during difficult experiences.
There are lots of ways to practise being positive such as :-
- Saying well done to yourself when you do something that you’re proud of.
- Write or draw one thing that makes you smile every day.
- Remind yourself of something you are looking forward to and why.
- Look at both sides of a situation: you might feel disappointed that you didn’t have the birthday party you planned… but it was still fun, and you will always remember it because it was so different.
Now create or draw a picture of yourself with a speech bubble. Inside the speech bubble write how you can make the most of your learning and how you can bring positivity to your learning.
