For thousands of years, people have used

dogs to do different tasks. Farmers and

shepherds use dogs to help them when rounding

up sheep, cattle and goats. One of the best

types of dog at doing this is the Border Collie. They are very smart

and easy to train. They are first-class at herding sheep.

My name is Jamila. I have a goldfish. I

keep it in a big tank, not a small bowl. I

clean out the tank once a week. I feed

Goldie twice a day on goldfish flakes.

I’m Gemma. My rabbit needs lots of

space to run around in. It also likes

somewhere to dig and hide. It eats

grass and carrots. It must have fresh

water to keep it healthy.

The first thing I do is boil the kettle.

Then I pour boiling water into the

teapot to warm it up. After I empty

the teapot, I put in a teabag and

pour on the hot water. I put a little

milk into my cup. After two or three

minutes, I pour the tea into my cup

and stir it with a spoon. Lovely!

Moose Hair Pie

This is my secret pie. Ssh! Don’t tell

anybody how I make it. Once you tell someone,

it won’t be a secret anymore. Everyone will

want to make their own.

When the moon is big and round, I creep

out into the woods near my house. There, I

collect lots of icky-sticky spider webs. If a spider gets cross, I turn it

into a potato. Serves it right! Then I find an old bar of soap and ask a

muddy, oinky pig to lick it.

As Maria stood at the bus stop, she rubbed her hands together.

Dad looked out of the window and picked up his umbrella.

The branches bent and the leaves scattered.

Sitting in the park, Mum used her magazine to fan herself.

Grandad got out his shovel and started to clear the path. SAMPLE


Josh stood behind the curtain. He

didn’t want to go on the stage. Everyone

was waiting.

At last, Josh came out. His golden

crown slipped down over his eyes.

When he heard some people laughing,

his face went red.

“Look at the ... em,” said Josh,

pointing upwards.

“Star,” whispered Joan.

“Look at the star,” said Josh. He

felt a bit happier then. Next, he had to

hand over the gift of gold. “I have a

gift,” he said, but he knew that he had

left it behind the curtain.

It went very quiet. Josh had to

think of something. “Have this golden

crown,” he said, smiling.

All the mums and dads clapped. SAMPLE

As I was going to St Ives, I met a man with seven wives.

Each wife had seven sacks, each sack had seven cats.

Each cat had seven kits: kits, cats, sacks and wives,

How many were going to St Ives?

Smiling blue sky, the day grows long

We can hear the blackbird’s song

The earth is warm and welcomes showers

Springtime magic brings the flowers

Snowdrops and yellow daffodils

Pots of cress on windowsills

Wake up trees and green the lane

Leaves are growing once again

Springtime Magic

Ducklings, tadpoles, fluffy chicks

Lambs are doing bouncing tricks

Now winter waves us all farewell

Springtime magic casts its spell

The Disappearing Dog

Harry had never taken his dog, Blackie, out for a walk on

his own before. The park was at the end of the street.

Test A - Year 1

SAMPLE


Harry skipped along the path to the park with Blackie

at his side.

In the park, Harry went on the swings, but, first, he tied

the dog lead to a bench.

Harry swung higher and higher. Blackie got very

excited. He jumped around and tugged at the lead, until he

broke free and ran off into the bushes.

Harry jumped off the swing and called for Blackie. He

called his name for a long time, but he didn’t come back. He

searched for over an hour. Tears ran down his face. But

there was no sign of the little black dog.
