Now, it’s time to begin writing your triffids chapter. You will have 3 days to
complete the chapter. Make sure to read through your plan to make sure it is
coherent and makes sense. Take the opportunity to add some more descriptive
details.
There are some WAGOLL opening paragraphs below. The first is unrelated to the
triffids and will be more challenging to work from. The others (in blue) are
triffids related if you need help getting started – try to make them your own by
using your own ideas to edit them. Also, there are WAGOLLs of some middle
paragraphs from children’s work last year.

WAGOLLs It was over a year ago that we decided to head to the Bristol and left our beloved flat
in Coventry. So far, the city has felt extremely overwhelming with the bustle of the
high streets and nightlife. Recently, it has begun to become busier as tourists are
visiting to see the latest Banksy art piece and enjoy the opportunities and attractions
that the city provides.
The Isle of Wight was our last hope but eventually, it also became the
sight of a battle for survival of the human race. What was to become of us
was unclear at the beginning but we knew we would fight.
It all began on a peaceful night in spring.......
Running to the Isle of Wight was the best thing Josella and Bill ever did.
Here was a place where a family could flourish in safety without worry of
the dangers from the Triffids; or so they thought.
Having relocated to the Isle of Wight, my life was different but better.
Each day, it had been a pleasure watching my family grow into adults who
were proud of the human race. There weren't many of us left but because
of this, we were determined to survive. Sadly, the only threat that we all
still worried about was that one day the triffids would find away to reach
us.

Dance Mat Typing Welcome to Dance Mat Typing, a fun way to learn touch typing.
There are four levels to play, each divided into three stages.
You start by learning the home row keys. Each stage builds on previous lessons, introducing new letters as you progress. You’ll soon be touch typing like an expert! At the end of each level you can test your typing speed and get a fun reward.
Why learn to touch type?
When you can do it well, touch typing is the fastest way to write. Many people quickly learn to touch type faster than
they can write with a pen. The important things to remember are:
■ Use the correct fingers ■ There's no need to rush! ■ Always rest your wrists on the desk.
You should take a rest, and shake your hands and arms to relax your muscles if you get tired.
It's important not to look at your hands when you are learning to type. The best way to ensure that you don't look at your hands is to cover them up - you can make a simple box out of cardboard or wood to cover both the keys and your
hands.
You might need headphones or speakers to enjoy the song and dance in each game.
Health and Safety
Sit comfortably with your back up straight and your feet on the ground!
Happy typing!
Level 1 starts with the home row keys. In this level you will learn to type the keys on the home row as well as letters e, i, r and u.
■ Stage 1: f d s a j k l ; g h ■ Stage 2: e i ■ Stage 3: r u Play level 1 and click on the button to select the stage you want.
