Unit: Time Slips
Tom’s Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce.
Look again at Chapter Two (pdf document).
Task 1:
Draw the grandfather clock and write down what you think Tom’s thoughts could be about it in speech bubbles.
Remember to use the first person 'I'.
Task 2:
Chapter 2 finishes with the lines: “I’m going to prove this, one way or the other. I’m going to see what the clock fingers say. I’m going down to the hall.”
What do you think will happen next? Why do you think this?
