  1. Good morning everyone, I hope you are all well. Here are my answers for the task:

    1. I think he said that because he always wanted to be a superhero himself but since he can’t, it’s god enough living in a world with one.
    2. I think he doesn’t want to tell him because he might be embarrassed and shy.
    3. He came back a three a.m.
    4. He wasn’t needed as it was a false alarm and the fire brigade dealt with it.
    5. I think it is closest to nervous.
    Bye everyone, see you all on the zoom call! ?

    Hi Jeanne – it was lovely to ‘see’ you today! Thank you for sharing your answers. Can you predict what will happen?

  5. Good morning Mrs Avdiu, I really enjoyed today’s zoom meeting; it was great to see everyone. Here are my answers for today’s reading task.

    On page 4
    1) Luke says that he likes living in a world with Zack because he feels safe with him and the other superheroes.
    2) I think that Luke would never tell Zack to his face that he likes living in the world with him because Zack would tease him about it or tell everybody.

    On page 5
    1) 3:00 am
    2) Zack wasn’t needed because ‘someone was burning rubbish in their back garden and it got out of control’, ‘the fire brigade dealt with it’.

    On page 6
    1) c) nervous

    Prediction:
    I predict that in the next chapter, Luke will start his book on his adventures and his cousin will arrive. I think that they will let her join S.C.A.R.F because it was set up for people who work alongside Star Lad and Dark Flutter and she can time travel which is a superpower.

    Thank you for reading and I hope that you have a great day!

  6. Mrs Avdiu says:

    Good morning, Zavan. Thank you! I really enjoyed it too 🙂
    Thanks for your lovely prediction. I always enjoy reading your responses. I like the way you linked your prediction to the text to back up your points!

  7. Hello everyone I hope you are all ok I really enjoyed seeing you all today.

    (1) I think Luck said he liked living in a world with Zack because Zack would save the world so he has nothing to worry about.
    (2) I think the reason Luck would never tell Zack to his face this is because Zack doesn’t like being a superhero and Luck doesn’t want to stress him more.
    (3) That day Zack returned home at like 3 A.M. and was really upset.
    (4) The problem wasn’t really a superhero problem in the first place and the fire brigade fixed it.
    (5) The word unease is closest meaning to nervous.

    Bye I hope you all have a nice day.

  8. Mrs Avdiu says:

    Hi Claudi, it was lovely to ‘see’ you today!
    Thanks for your responses. Can you try the extension?

  9. Good Morning Everyone!
    I really enjoyed our Zoom call!

    1. Luke says that he liked living in a world with Zack because he feels safe with him and knows that Zack will always protect him.

    2. I think Luke would never tell Zack that he liked living in a world with him to his face because he thinks it will be embarrassing.

    3. Zack got back home at three a.m.

    4. Zack was not needed because it wasn’t a big emergency and the fire brigade dealt with it.

    5. I think unease is closest in meaning to nervous.
    Bye everyone! I hope you enjoyed our Zoom call! ?

  10. Mrs Avdiu says:

    Hi Theo – it was lovely to ‘see’ you today!
    I really enjoyed our Zoom call and can’t wait for the next one on Monday!

  11. Hello everyone,
    I really enjoyed talking to you this morning. It was nice to see all of class 5 all on Zoom . Here is my English work:

    PAGE 4:
    1. I think Luke says he likes living in a world with Zack because he feels safe with a superhero in his house and he enjoys hearing about his brothers many missions.
    2. I don’t think that Luke would ever admit to Zack that he liked living with him because siblings often squabble and he would feel embarrassed to say it and show that he cares.

    PAGE 5:
    1. Zack arrived home from his ’emergency’ mission at three am.
    2. Zack wasn’t needed because the fire brigade felt with the situation.

    PAGE 6:
    1. The word unease is closest in meaning to nervous.

    CHALLENGE:
    I think that Luke is going to take Zack’s powers after Zorban the Decider takes them away from him so he can become a regular boy. Luke will meet his cousin who can time travel and I think this because the cover says ‘My Cousin is a Time traveller’ and him and his cousin will travel through time and see there is a calamity which needs saving. Together they will have to protect the world before it is too late and the catastrophe ruins everything.

  12. Mrs Avdiu says:

    Hi Renee- it was lovely to ‘see’ you today! I really enjoyed it too. Thank you for your brilliant prediction which shows you have read the text well!

  13. Hi Mrs Avdiu,

  14. Mrs Avdiu says:

    Thank you for letting me know, Marco! Good luck and do drop me a comment once it is uploaded so I can find it and share it on the blog. It was lovely to ‘see’ you today!

  15. Gabriella says:

    On page 4:
    1) Because he feels safe with him.
    2) I think he does not want to tell because he will be embarrassed and he thinks that Zack will laugh.

    On page 5:
    1)3A.M.
    2)Because the firemen came.

    On page 6:
    1) C

    Prediction:
    I think that Luke will get Zack’s superpowers because Zack says he doesn’t want his superpowers anymore. They will find out that their cousin can time travel and together they will save the world.

  16. Mrs Avdiu says:

    Hi Gabi! It was lovely to ‘see’ you today!

    ON PAGE 6:
    1. (C) nervous

    CHALLENGE:
    I think that they are both going to go to Zorbon the Decider the next morning, and there might be a major problem, so Zac will have to stay as a superhero.

  30. Mrs Avdiu says:

    Hi Sara – it was lovely to ‘see’ you today!
    What kind of problem might the characters have?

    page 6:

    1) ”Unease” has the closest meaning to: nervous.

    will take Zack’s powers and Lara will be given the power to time travel.

  32. Mrs Avdiu says:

    Hi Marco – it was lovely to ‘see’ you today!

  33. Mathilde :) says:

    Hello everyone

    1. Luke said he likes living in a world with Zack because he felt safe.
    2. Luke didn’t want to admit to Zack because he thought Zach would laugh at him and they didn’t have a good relationship.
    3. Zack got there at 3 am.
    4. Zack wasn’t needed because it was a false alarm and the fire Brigade handled it.
    5. Unease is closest to nervous.

    Challenge
    I predict that Zorbon will come to earth and say there is an emergency but then I think that Zack will say that he doesn’t want to be a superhero anymore. Zorbon will give Luke the superpowers and Luke will try to fight the thing but he will need help and that is when his cousin comes in.

    I hope everyone has a great day ??☺️?

  34. Mrs Avdiu says:

    Hi Mathilde – it was lovely to ‘see’ you today!
    That is a sensible prediction. What have you been reading lately?

  35. Nika ?️ says:

    Hey everyone!
    I hope that you have had a fab weekend.

    Here are the answers that I came up with today…

    – Luke says he likes living in a world with Zack as Zack always makes him feel safe.

    – In my opinion, Luck did not want to tell Zack that he enjoyed living on the same planted as that would probably make him feel embarrassed as he is also an older kid.

    – Zack came back at around 3 am.

    – Zack was not needed for the mission as the fire brigade could have dealt with it and also as it was a fake alarm.

    – Nervous is the closest meaning to ‘unease’.

    CHALLENGE:
    I predict that Zorbon will come down to planted Earth and that Zack will explain he doesn’t want his superpowers anymore. After that, I amuse that Zorbon will give Dark Flutter (Lara Lee) the power of time travelling since that what the tittle is.
    If he (Zorbon) does not give Dark Flutter (Lara Lee) the power, I think that he gives it to another superhero…

    I miss you all so much and I cannot wait to see you all again!

  36. Mrs Avdiu says:

    Hi Nika, I can’t wait to ‘see’ you all again next Monday too!
    Thank you for your super prediction which references the text and is written with great punctuation and spelling. What have you been reading lately, Nika?

  37. Hi Mrs Avdiu.
    I think the problem might be aliens?taking over the world or the earth might be new a black hole.

  38. Mrs Avdiu says:

    That sounds like a great storyline!

  39. ✨Renee✨ says:

    Hi everyone! I really enjoyed doing the zoom call today and seeing all of your faces again. Here are my answers for the grammar today. ?

    1) I think Luke said he liked living in a world with Zack because Zack is a superhero and he can defend him and look after him.
    2) I think Luke wouldn’t tell Zack he liked living in a world with him because he might be quite embarrassed or uncomfortable.

    3) Zack came back from his ‘emergency’ at about 3am.
    4) Zack wasn’t needed in the emergency because the fire brigade already dealt with it.

    5) Unease is the closest meaning to nervous.

    ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
    Challenge:

    I predict that someone will take Zack’s superpowers (but he wont really mind because he didn’t like being a superhero) Then after, Dark Flutter (Laura Lee) will be given the power to time travel.

    I hope you enjoyed reading my grammar answers! Have a lovely rest of the day.
