Shards of Glass – Part 1 (Monday 6th July + Tuesday 7th July)
People are like glass. They look pretty strong, but really, they're fragile, easy to break.
The hot sun beats down on my neck and back. My battered straw hat makes my head
itch, and my dress is far too small, exposing my wrists and lower legs to the burning rays. The
burlap sack containing my few possessions slumps beside me on the dusty platform.
Glass can be broken by physical force, by dropping or throwing it, whether by accident
or with the intent to harm. Glass can also be broken by invisible pressures, building and
building until it finally cracks. It seems a mystery as to why it breaks so suddenly- glass is
transparent, but it can hide any amount of stress.
I look down at my ticket. I don't recognise the town name printed on it, but that is
indifferent to me. I wipe my brow and pull my socks up even further in a desperate attempt
to protect my skin. There is no shade here, or any people. Everything is covered in a layer of
brown dust- apparently including the very air I'm breathing. It's as though this platform has
been abandoned to the point where even the moisture has forgotten it. But that's okay. I know
how it feels.
Shards of Glass – Part 2 (Monday 6th July + Tuesday 7th July)
Like glass, when people are broken, they become spiky and hard to touch. They can
accidentally hurt others, and then the others don't want to come back.
I trace an aimless pattern in the dirt with my scuffed sandal toe. The clock on the
station sign has stopped, so I don't know how long the train will take to get here. It could be a
few minutes, a few hours or even the rest of the day. I sigh. The tracks look rusty, as though
the train hasn't been used in a long while, and a few shrivelled plants lie in the gravel, having
given up long ago.
Glass takes time to be repaired. You have to work out where all the little pieces go
before you can even begin. When you go to glue it back together, some of them don't fit
because the glue needed is so thick and strong. Tiny shards are lost- tiny pieces of a person's
personality. Once you've glued the glass back together, it is easier to break again. Every time
you repair it, the shape changes, eventually beyond recognition. It's almost beautiful, in a sad
kind of way.
I hear a scraping noise and see a cloud of dust coming over the horizon. The old,
weathered train stops in front of me, and I walk up to it. On the way, I pick up a broken bottle
from the floor. Maybe if I mend it, then somebody, somewhere will be mending too. I step
onto the train and watch as the dirty platform disappears behind me. I'm moving on, looking
for something to replace my lost shards, and harden the glue between the repairs I've had to
make for myself.

1. ‘people are like glass…fragile and easy to break’ Can you find 3 examples where our character, like glass, is
turning ‘fragile’?
2. ‘this platform has been abandoned to
the point where the moisture has
forgotten it. But that’s ok….I know how that feels ’ What does this mean for our character? Can you find evidence to
suggest this?
3. ‘I look down at my ticket. I don't
recognise the town name printed on it,
but that is indifferent to me.’ Why could the character be feeling ‘indifferent’?
Draw/Write/Discuss what we know about the
character already…
L.O. TO USE INFERENCE TO EXPLORE A
CHARACTERS MOTIVESIn the text, our character is constantly referring her life and personality to glass –being fragile, invisible pressures yet strong and sturdy on the outside.
Knowing yourself knowing your personality, could you draw/write an object that you could compare you and your personality to…
e.g. A plastic bag – flying with the wind, feeling free. No stress, no worries.
The fact it’s durable and hardwearing - means I can withstand difficult times that could test me.
Getting caught on trees – meaning overcoming obstacles in life that could stop me in my tracks, but know I could ‘float off’ again and move forward with life.
This can be in the form of a picture, poem or short written piece.

1. The character described her best
friend to having been a ‘ray of sunshine’. Can you find 3 ways she did this?
2. By the end of this part, is she still
described as a ‘ray of sunshine’ why do you think her attitudes

break down? Have you ever
experienced a broken promise
from a friend?
L.O. TO MAKE COMPARISONS ACROSS TEXTS
Your task is to create a comparison chart with the text ‘Shards of Glass’ and ‘Moving On’. Think about the characters themselves, the underlying themes, settings, motives

1. Compared to the start of this text,
until now, do you agree with the
character when she says ‘things were never the same again’?
2. Why does Lucy think ‘our time was over’ with her best friend?
3. Compare Lucy’s story with your personal experience of
friendhsips. Self reflect on a time
you knew a friend but lost touch,
made new friends, fallen out with
friends.
Moving On – Part 1 (Thursday 9th July and Friday 10th July)
I can see her from my window. In her bedroom titivating herself and getting ready to go out.
She was my best friend. But not anymore.
I can't help but think back to how different things used to be between us, just a few
years ago. I remember the first day I met her, when she burst in to my world like a ray of
sunshine exclaiming "We will be best friends forever!" A promise she failed to keep.
At first, we did everything together - went shopping, ate in restaurants, went for drives
in the car, and every year she insisted I went on holiday with her and her family. Always to a
beach. I never told her but I hated the way the sand never seemed to wash out of my hair.
She introduced me to my first ever boyfriend. He was called Ken and was the love of
my life. He was so handsome and well dressed and she always said we belonged together.
That was until... That year we went to Menorca - another beach holiday - but the first time
Ken and I had been away as a couple. We all had a great time! But two days before we came
home, I stayed at the hotel while the rest of them went on a boat trip. They were gone for
ages, but I enjoyed the peace and quiet. When she came back I could tell she had been crying.
She hugged me close and sobbed. There had been an accident on the boat and my Ken was
lost forever - presumed drowned.
Moving On – Part 2 (Thursday 9th July and Friday 10th July)
When we got back home things were never the same again. I was just numb, but she
cried a river. She sobbed when she saw his car in the driveway, when she opened the
wardrobe and saw his clothes, and when she stepped on his surfboard - his pride and joy -
and broke it. I just smiled at her and hoped in my eyes she could see I forgave her. She tried
at the start to make everything better, taking me out, buying me new clothes and even
introducing me to a new man.
I don't know exactly when we started to drift apart. Her visits dwindled and I saw her
less and less. She has a new friend now, called Sarah, who is beginning to take my place. I met
Sarah once briefly, and she laughed at me. I looked at my best friend and could see how
embarrassed she was with me. I knew then our time was over.
She is still fixing her hair, music blaring through the open window. Suddenly her
bedroom door opens. "Turn that music down Lucy!" her mum yells, "Have you decided what
things you are giving to the charity shop yet? I'm going now!" She looked over - directly at
me. "Yeah mum, I think the doll’s house and Barbie can go." And my world went black as the
plastic bag was placed over my home.

L.O. To write verses with juxtaposition Thursday 9th July
L.O. To write verses with juxtaposition Thursday 9th JulyMany proverbs in English include examples of juxtaposition, as the contrasts between concepts can provide a lesson.
When it rains, it pours. In this case, there is a contrast of magnitude. The literal meaning is that when it rains,
one can expect a downpour. The proverbial meaning is that when one thing goes right many things will go right, or, conversely, when one thing goes wrong everyone goes wrong.Better late than never. While being late is a negative thing, the possibility of something never happening or
someone never arriving is much worse. Therefore, this juxtaposition puts things into perspective.Beggars can’t be choosers. To beg and to choose are opposite functions, and this proverb implies that in fact
one cannot be both desperate and have any choice in the decision or result.Making a mountain out of a molehill. Once again, this is a juxtaposition of magnitude. A molehill is almost
invisible compared to a mountain. This proverb warns not to magnify a problem that is, in fact, not such a big deal.You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. In this contrast between old and new, the proverb indicates that once
someone has gotten either literally too old or metaphorically too stuck in a way of thinking there is no way to change that person’s mind or manners.

Session 4
Making the change
In Session 3, we looked at the things that we
worry about including the fear of failure.
People who want to be awesome and mature, make failure an
opportunity to learn.
We agreed that failure is a way to learn and we
should embrace it!
What is change?
In life, we go through many different changes
or ‘transitions’. Here are some examples: • Moving house
• Becoming a vegetarian
• Becoming a brother or sister
• Getting your first job
• Breaking your leg or arm
• Growing up
• Going to secondary school
One of the biggest
changes you will
ever make is the
leap from primary
school to
secondary school.
Change is an
opportunity
How can you face change and be prepared?
Talk to friends and family about
your concerns or excitement.
Learn the layout of your new
school.
Be organised and get all of your
equipment ready.
Never be afraid to ask for help.
Know the timetable of your new
school.
Know what uniform and sports
kit you need.
There are many ways we can embrace the
change of going to secondary school
• See it as an opportunity to make new friends.
• Try out new clubs and activities.
• Everyone is facing the same thing so try to
enjoy it!
• Make a great first impression with your
behaviour, organisation and presentation.
“One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.”
Malala Yousafzai
Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate
Why is getting an education such a great thing?
This is what a teenager called Malala said when she was at secondary school:
“Malala believes that anyone – you, me, that person on
the bus who goes to the secondary down the road – can
change the world. The power of education to help you
do that is massive. It opens doors that we thought were
locked; it gives us the bricks to build the highest tower
from which we can see the beauty of the world. Or, to
put it without using metaphors, a good education can
help you get the life you want for yourself.’
• Name three things that have changed the
most since you started primary school.
• What will you miss most about your old
school?
• What are you most concerned about in
your new school?
Activity: School memories
Before you make a change, it is good to look back as well as look forward. You can see how far you have come!
You started primary school when you were just five years old – you couldn’t read or write back then!
“Throughout our lives we go through all sorts of changes, or what we call, ‘transitions’. One of the biggest transitions any of us will go
through, though, is the leap from primary to
secondary school.”
We are going to look at some of those changes.
There are many differences between primary and
secondary school. Here is what to expect:
Primary Secondary
• Smaller school
• Same class all the way through school
• A smaller range of subjects
• The same teacher or a few teachers for an entire
year
• Playtime activities to do
• It could be close to your home with friends
nearby
• Less independence
• Bigger school and you will move to different
lessons
• Different subjects
• Different types of homework
• Different structure and routine
• Different teachers for each subject
• You will have a form tutor and class
• More independent learning
• Manage your own time
• A mixture of different children from different
schools
• Different set of rules
Activity: New school
• Write down three things you are
really excited about doing in
secondary school.
• Write down three worries you have
about secondary school. Speak to
someone you trust about your
worries to help you feel better.
Life is a journey…
It is YOUR journey…
Build on who are and what you
have done in primary school.
Use it as a stepping stone to help
you achieve and enjoy a new school
and environment.
In your workbook:
What are the things that you have
already done at primary school that
you would like to build on?
Here are some top tips for making the change:
1. When you go for your first day, ask people their names.
2. Be kind – everyone is nervous, we just display it in different ways.
3. Make yourself talk to new people.
4. Ask if you are not sure.
5. Be determined to make a good impression – be polite and have the right equipment.
6. Smile! Even your teacher will be nervous on the first day back!
If you embrace the change, and use it
as an opportunity to grow, then you
will be able to do brilliant things!
