The Bread That Would Not Rise

Nana let Ada make the bread on her own for the first time. Ada measured the flour, the salt and the water. She kneaded the dough until her arms ached. Then she covered the bowl and waited. An hour later the dough sat in the bowl exactly as she had left it. It had not risen at all. Nana looked at the packet on the shelf. "You used the salt twice," she said. "There is no yeast in it." Ada wanted to throw the bowl across the kitchen. Instead she washed it out and started again.

  1. 1. Which sentence shows how angry Ada was?
  2. 2. Which words show Ada worked hard?
  3. 3. What was Ada making?
  4. 4. What had Ada left out?

What the Tide Left

Every low tide, Grandad and Tess walked out to the rock pools. Tess wanted to take a starfish home. Grandad said no. "It would die in a bucket," he said. "Look at it here instead." Tess crouched for a long time. She saw the starfish move — slowly, on hundreds of tiny feet she had not known it had. She did not ask again. On the way back she said, "It's better in the pool anyway."

  1. 1. When did Grandad and Tess walk out to the rock pools?
  2. 2. What did Tess want to take home?
  3. 3. Which sentence shows Tess changed her mind?
  4. 4. What did Tess see the starfish do?
