Writing assessment and the "Year 6 panic", sentence 4

Picture Ruby crying at bedtime and her mum from Glasgow saying, "Wee lassie, it's no' the end o' the world" ("lassie" means girl): talking about the worry, sleeping, eating well and taking breaks help far more than worrying harder.

Who acts: you, mum, teacher, lassie · What happens: picture, cry, say, be, mean, talk · To what, where: Ruby, bedtime, end, girl, breaks, more · Speech: someone speaks here
