It was the sea eagle that called Emily down to the beach. It hovered above the waves, it's broad wings dusty where the land had left its mark, its small eyes that could follow the horizon bright and keen. She hadn't meant to come down onto the beach. She'd meant to sit at the top of the ramp till the other kids had left the street, till she could walk home from school in peace without strangers staring at her, but somehow the bird seemed to urge her to come down.

What time of day do you think it is and why?

• afternoon because she is coming home from school

• evening because there was no one on the street

• lunch time because she wanted to feed the birds

• morning because birds are out at that time
