Favourite Character Facts Worksheet

Read the passage about Mira, a memorable character. Then answer the questions using evidence from the text. For questions asking what you think, support your idea with a detail from the passage.

The lighthouse notebook

Mira lived with her grandfather in a white cottage near the sea. Every morning, she walked along the shore with her orange cat, Pip, and a notebook tucked into her satchel. Mira liked collecting unusual things: smooth pieces of sea glass, feathers and tales from the people she met. One stormy afternoon, the lighthouse lamp stopped turning. Without its moving beam, boats might miss the safe channel between the rocks. Mira hurried up the lighthouse stairs, carrying a spare oil lamp. At the top, she found that a strip of torn fishing net had tangled around the turning mechanism. The stairs were slippery, and the wind rattled the windows. Mira felt nervous, but she remembered her grandfather’s advice: “A careful mind is as useful as a brave heart.” She tied the spare lamp securely to a railing, then used a long wooden hook to pull the net free. The mechanism began to turn again, sweeping light across the dark water. The next day, a fisherman thanked Mira for helping guide his boat safely into the harbour. Mira wrote down what had happened in her notebook. Beside the story, she drew a tiny lighthouse and added a note: “Being brave does not mean feeling no fear. It means choosing what to do next.”
