Reading Text Extract take from Trouble Next Door by Chris Higgins
Bella thought the new house looked strange. She stood in the overgrown garden with scratchy grass up to her knees and stared at it with Sid. Something was wrong. ‘‘It’s not a new house, it’s an old house,’’ she said.
“Yes,” said Mum. “It’s a very old cottage. It was built hundreds of years ago.”
“But you said we were moving to a new house!”
“Oh dear!” Mum looked sorry. “I meant it was new to us.”
“It’s got a face,” said Sid.
Her little brother was right. The house did have a face. Its roof was a hat with a crooked chimney poking up from it like a feather, and its gutters, covered in moss, were untidy eyebrows. Beneath them two dark bedroom windows peeped out at them sleepily.
“It’s pleased to see us,” said Sid.
“Yes,” smiled Mum. “It’s glad a family’s come to live in it again. It’s been empty for a long time.”
Sid liked the house but Bella wasn’t sure. She’d thought she was moving to a nice new house in the countryside, by the sea. This house looked like it was about to fall down. And the countryside smelt of poo. Cow poo. The field in front of the house stank of it. And there was no sign of the sea.
“Let’s go inside and take a look,” said Dad.
He took a key out of his pocket and turned the lock. Slowly, the door opened with a loud creaking noise.
6 | P a g e
Inside, it was dark and dusty.
“I don’t like it,” said Bella. “It smells funny.”
“It just needs a good airing,” said Mum. “It’s been shut up for a long time.”
Bella looked around. It wasn’t a proper house at all, just one big room with a low ceiling and black wooden beams running across it. There was a wooden door at the back leading to the kitchen, a huge fireplace and a staircase in the far corner. Sid stuck his head up inside the fireplace.
“Look at this, Bella! It’s ENORMOUS!”
“NORMOUS ... ORMOUS ... ORMOUS,” echoed the fireplace as soot dropped down at their feet.
“Careful!” said Dad. “It probably hasn’t been swept for years.”
Bella peered up the chimney. It smelt of burning and was so dark you couldn’t see the top.
“In the olden days they’d have sent kids like you up there to clean it,” remarked Dad.
“Wicked!” said Sid. He shot upstairs to explore but Bella hung back.
“What’s up, sweetheart?”
Mum knelt down in front of her and her face was kind and soft. This made Bella feel worse.
“I want to go home,” she whispered.

Listen to the following poem read by Pie Corbet, written by Tina.
https://soundcloud.com/talkforwriting/didnt-know/s-M7Rgv1VrhKV
She lists the things she has been missing about school.
I didn’t know I’d miss –
the hum of everyone in assembly
and the joyful sound of us singing together.
I didn’t know I’d miss –
Miss Wood on the flipchart writing up our ideas
as we make up a story together
and the room is alive with creativity.
I didn’t know I’d miss –
meeting with my friends each morning,
even when the playground was cold.
I didn’t know I’d miss –
showing the little ones how to read
and help my friends with tidying up the class.
I didn’t know I’d miss –
my pencil case with all my pencils
and the smell of the inside of my school bag.
I didn’t know I’d miss –
finding a new book that I love from the class library.
I didn’t know I’d miss –
school dinners, especially
the thick layer on top of custard. By Tina
