One day, their peaceful existence is disrupted by a vulture intent on stealing their pride and joy. After you’ve watched the short film can you rewrite the story as if you were one of the meerkats. You might want to start your story like this …. After a great night’s sleep, I woke up with the heat of the sun. It was a lovely, calm day. I stretched out ready to take on the day ahead. I was so excited to see whether our amazing, beautiful fruit had changed.

Using all of that information, can you write a conversation between the meerkats and the vulture? Watch the video again and start your conversation from when the vulture lands on the branch, what would he say to the meerkats and how would they respond? Keep the conversation going using speech marks up to the point where the meerkats get the fruit back from the vulture and start throwing it to each other in the sky. Remember –

Each new character's speech starts on a new line.

Speech is opened with speech marks.

Each line of speech starts with a capital.

The line of speech ends with a comma, exclamation mark or question mark.

Close the speech with speech marks.

Can you also add some narrative into the speech. For example –

“Hello,” squawked the unkind looking vulture. “What do you want?” questioned the meerkats feeling rather nervous. They could see their beautiful fruit only a few steps from the vulture. “Please don’t hurt us,” the meerkats begged. “ I’m not interested in you, it’s this juicy fruit that I want,” sneered the vulture. With that he plucked it from the tree and flew through the still, warm air.

Jason and his Goal – Friday 29th January

Jason and his goal

Jason was a boy who was good at a lot of things at school and he loved to be the best at new activities too. He always got the top marks in

tests and was picked for school football teams every time there was a competition. Jason never even had to try very hard at these things, he

was naturally very talented. As a result, he felt confident that he could achieve new goals.

One day, Jason’s best friend Phil started violin lessons. Within a few months, Phil was very good. He had been practicing every night at home

and his teacher said he had done well to reach his goal of completing the first violin exam.

Jason decided that he would start violin lessons too. So, he went along to lessons on a Tuesday night. However, he could not make the same

lovely sound that Phil could and he struggled to read the music. It was new to him and he didn’t find it easy. He also felt like the teacher liked

Phil more than him. He got very angry, stopped practicing and gave up violin lessons after 1 month of trying. He even got jealous of Phil, Jason

wasn’t used to him being better at something.

Phil continued to practice every night and went on to do 2 more violin exams. Jason decided to go back to doing well in tests and at football.
