Bramley Church of England PrimarySweetie Time (Game)

For this game, you will need straws and jelly beans.  The smaller the jelly bean, the better to make pickup easier.  Give each player a handful of jellybeans, a small bowl or basket, and a straw.  Set the timer for 1 minute.  Players use the straw to pick up one jellybean at a time and transfer it into the bowl by sucking up air through the straw. The player with the most jellybeans in their bowl by the end of the minute is the winner.

An extract from ‘Watership Down’

Bramley Church of England Primary

The grass was wet and thick near the stream and they made their way up the opposite slope, looking for drier ground. Part of the slope was in the shadow, for the sun was sinking ahead of them, and Hazel, who wanted a warm, sunny spot, went on until they were quite near the lane. As they approached the gate, he stopped, staring. ‘Fiver, what’s that? Look!’ A little way in front of them, the ground had been freshly disturbed. Two piles of earth lay on the grass. Heavy posts, reeking of paint, towered up as high as the holly trees in the hedge, and the board they carried threw a long shadow across the top of the field. Near one of the posts, a hammer and a few nails had been left behind. The two rabbits went up to the board at a hopping run and crouched in a patch of nettles at the far side, wrinkling their noses at the smell of a dead cigarette-end somewhere in the grass. Suddenly Fiver shivered and cowered down. ‘Oh, Hazel! This is where it comes from! I know now – something very bad! Some terrible thing – coming closer and closer.’He began to whimper with fear. ‘What sort of thing – what do you mean? I thought you said there was no danger?’ ‘I don’t know what it is,’ answered Fiver wretchedly. ‘There isn’t any danger here, at the moment. However, it’s coming – it’s coming. Oh Hazel, look! The field! It’s covered with blood!’ ‘Don’t be silly, it’s only the light of the sunset. Fiver, come on, don’t talk like this, you are frightening me!’ Fiver sat trembling and crying among the nettles as Hazel tried to reassure him and to find out what it could be that had driven him beside himself. If he was terrified, why did he not run for safety, as any sensible rabbit would? But Fiver could not explain and only grew more and more distressed. At last Hazel said, ‘Fiver, you can’t sit crying here. Anyway, it’s getting dark. We’d better go back to the burrow.’ When at last Hazel had got him back to the ditch, he refused at first to go underground and Hazel almost had to push him down the hole. The sun set behind the opposite slope. The wind turned colder, with a scatter of rain, and in less than an hour it was dark. All colour had faded from the sky: and although the big board by the gate creaked slightly in the night wind (as though to insist that it had not disappeared into darkness, but was still firmly where it had been put), there was no passer-by to read the sharp, hard letters that cut straight as black knives across its white surface.

Questions about the text 1) Part of the slope was in the shadow, for

the sun was sinking ahead of them, - what does the sun sinking really mean? What is happening?

2) What items had been left behind near one of the pots?

3) What does the word whimper mean? And what does it tell you about the reaction

4) Why do you think Fiver shivered? 5) ‘What sort of thing – what do you mean? I

thought you said there was no danger?’ What danger could occur? Any ideas?

6) Hazel tried to reassure him – what does reassure mean and do you know any other words for this?

7) ‘We’d better go back to the burrow.’ – what is a burrow?
