We have been learning about stories of mystery and suspense in Literacy and have thought about what we could include to make them exciting! Use the pictures below or your own imagination to write the introduction to a mystery story, using between 50 and 100 words. Think about setting the scene, describing what you could hear and showing how you felt.

Perhaps you could include:

§     Some short, punchy sentences to build up tension

§     Ellipsis (…) to create the ‘what happens next?’ moment

§     Description of a spooky setting

§     SHOW how the character felt (He shrieked! Sweat poured from her face.)

§     Similes (My heart pounded like a drum)

§     Rhetorical questions (What could it be?)

§     Describe mystery noises and sounds.

Please help your child to learn the lyrics for these songs, which will be included in our upcoming Buddhist assembly.

Don’t Worry Be Happy Here is a little song I wrote You might want to sing it note for note Don't worry be happy In every life we have some trouble When you worry you make it double Don't worry, be happy...... Ain't got no place to lay your head Somebody came and took your bed Don't worry, be happy The land lord says your rent is late He may have to litigate Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy

Happy by Pharrell

Because I’m happy Clap along if you know what happiness is to you Because I’m happy Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do Repeat chorus Hey, come on (happy) Bring me down… can’t nothing… Bring me down… my levels too high… Bring me down… can’t nothing… Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now) Because I’m happy Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof Because I’m happy Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth Because I’m happy Clap along if you know what happiness is to you Because I’m happy Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do Repeat chorus Come on

It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don’t care baby by the way

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Here come bad news talking this and that,
Well, give me all you got, and don’t hold it back,
Well, I should probably warn you I’ll be just fine,
No offense to you, don’t waste your time
Here’s why

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Bring me down…..Can't nothing bring me down
Bring me down…..My level's too high
Bring me down…….Can't nothing bring me down
I said (let me tell you now)
Bring me down
Can't nothing bring me down
My level's too high
Bring me down
Can't nothing bring me down
I said

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
