\u201cWell, Philip, I don\u2019t know whether bleach would take away the pencil lines,\u201d Mrs. Gravesend said.\u00a0 \u201cBut unfortunately, we can\u2019t try it, because bleach would leave a peculiar white mark of its own.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know!\u201d said Robyn suddenly.\u00a0 \u201cWe can use an old eraser end!\u201d<\/p>\n

Robyn looked at Philip, and they both laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought they might come in handy,\u201d said Philip.\u00a0 He fetched the box, and set to work on a particularly obstinate scribble.\u00a0 \u201cPerfect,\u201d he declared, turning the eraser so that he could use a longer edge.\u00a0 \u201cOh, no!\u201d he cried the next moment, \u201cThis is very peculiar, Mom!\u00a0 The eraser is leaving a line on the table\u2014and it\u2019s green!!!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Bonus Activity<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Perplexed<\/em><\/strong> and peculiar<\/em><\/strong> are similar-sounding words.\u00a0 It can be easy to get them confused.\u00a0 Copy out these two rhymes to help you remember the difference:<\/p>\n

\u00a0When you\u2019re feeling quite perplexed,<\/em>
\n You are asking \u201cWhat is next?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

When a thing is strange to you,<\/em>
\n Then peculiar will do.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tip: Try using a different coloured pen or marker for each rhyme.\u00a0 Having a visual clue can help you to keep the two words separate in your mind.<\/p>\n

Sample Answer To Last Week\u2019s Bonus Activity\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h5>\n

Student answers may vary slightly, depending on how the verse is divided.\u00a0 It contains six or seven different blessings, which the author asks God to grant:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. That He would be near us through all our life<\/li>\n
  2. That He would cheer us with joyful hearts<\/li>\n
  3. That He would cheer us with blessed peace<\/li>\n
  4. That He would keep us in His grace<\/li>\n
  5. That He would guide us when perplexed<\/li>\n
  6. That He would free us from all ills in this world<\/li>\n
  7. That He would free us from all ills in the next world<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note: Numbers six and seven may easily be combined into one.<\/p>\n
