WRITING OBSTACLE
You are a child who has lost their favourite toy on a day out, and bedtime is quickly approaching. Describe how this makes you feel.
Consider your language choice carefully here, and the age of the child. How do they display their emotions?
Where Is Rabbit?
Where is rabbit?
I can’t find rabbit !
He’s not anywhere in my bed
I’ve lifted up all the covers and he’s not hiding there
Where is rabbit ?
I can’t find rabbit!
He isn’t in the bathroom
And I did go there to brush my teeth. Honest.
Where is rabbit?
I can’t find rabbit!
He isn’t in the lounge
And it’s too late to watch my cartoons now. Mummy says so.
Where is rabbit?
I can’t find rabbit!
He isn’t in the garden
I hope he isn’t in the garden. Daddy says it’s bedtime so I can’t go out and look.
Where is rabbit?
I can’t find rabbit!
He isn’t in with Granny
Granny looked everywhere in her room really well. She promised.
Where is rabbit?
I can’t find rabbit!
He isn’t anywhere!
And Mummy says I have to go to sleep now.
Where is rabbit?
I can’t find rabbit!
He isn’t in my bedroom
Daddy has looked in my room too but says we’ll look tomorrow. Promise.
Where is rabbit?
I can’t find rabbit!
He cannot sleep without me
He gets scared in the dark without me
Where is rabbit?
I can’t find rabbit!
Mummy says it’s past time that little girls should be asleep
Mummy says I must take off my dressing gown
Where is rabbit?
I can’t find rabbit!
What’s this in my pocket?
Here is rabbit!
I can’t find teddy!
