An icy plunge


 Where is the pup’s mother? The pups mothers getting fish for her pup.

What animal is she? seal.

What might she have learnt already from her mother? How to catch fish and how to swim. 

How old is the pup? A couple days old. 

Do you remember learning to swim? What were the biggest challenged you had to overcome? To  Remember to kick. 

Will the pup be brave enough the enter? I think that the pup will when t finds its courage.

How is it that some animals are better swimmers than others?  Because some fish or animals have bigger fins. 

How do you think it would feel to swim in that water? If I was that pup I would be nervous because I would not now what is under me.

Would you be able to do it? I would if I bilt up the courage.


The young pup peered down into the icy water below with a growing feeling of trepidation. Only a few days old, she had learnt so much already from watching her mother, but this challenge was her greatest so far.

How would it feel to be submerged? What would she find lurking underneath the surface? How would ever she get back onto dry land?

Questions flooded her mind like a torrent of icy water, but bravely she inched closer to the edge she tried to move forward but it only made it worse 

She splashed her fin and she was moving the ice pach and she was moving closer and closer to a glacier! She tried to use her tail to swim away

But she just moved closer and closer when she was so close to the glacier she bumped into it and the glacier broke! It was a couple meters away from it then 

She felt something touching her it pulled he to to a big ice pach bigger than the previous one she looked behind her and it was her mother.


These sentences are ‘sick’ and need your help to get better. Can you help?

The pup lay on the snow. She looked at the water. It was a gloomy day. It was cold.

Can you use relative clauses to add extra information to a sentence using who, which, where, when, whose or that?


E.g. The pup, who was only a few days old, prepared for the icy plunge.

Her fur, , was white.

The water, , was turquoise

The snow , , was soft

Her eyes , , are dreamy 

The ice , , was cold
