Re Lunch...the lunch planned for Monday 28th August has been postponed until further notice.

Words
Fain...glad, joyful
Fantod...a state, an attack of uneasiness
Sequester...to isolate
Emancipate...to free from restraint
Endeavour...to strive after, attempt
Feral...untamed, wild

A range of stories, poems utilising the words above were read out.

Homework was presented which took us to break time.

The afternoon session involved an exercise whereby we developed a character's name by combining our first pet's name and the first street we lived in. E.g. Pet...Lucky, Street...Nottinghill Rd. So the character's name would be Lucky Nottinghill.
A good way of coming up with character names. The name suggested aspects of the character.

We then used the character in a short story/ poem.

Homework
Come up with another character's name by combining your best friend at school's first name with the suburb/town you first lived in...then...use that character in a story that incorporates the sentence
..."he thought he could find her in enemy territory"
