Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing - Week 2 & 3

Fudge - by Savannah

Violets Q responses for Week 2

- Last year I invited friends to the indoor climbing centre and it was great fun!

- The dentist got Fudge to open his mouth by asking Peter to open his mouth first then telling him how amazing his teeth were. Fudge then wanted to show the dentist he could do this too. I don’t like going to the dentist because they prod around in my mouth.

- Fudge wanted the same shoes as Peter but they did not come in his size.

- Sheila is a know it all so I probably wouldn’t get on with her.

- Fudge scribbled all over Peter’s poster with markers!

Yes and no, yes because he took them to the movies and cooked them dinner.  No because he wasn’t watching where fudge was and didn’t cook them a nice omelet. My dad is good at looking after me because he takes us out to lunch and makes sure we're in bed at 7.00 and 8.00 and cooks us yum food.

Violet's answers to Chapter Chat Questions and picture:

It was not a good idea to use Fudge for the advert because he doesn’t have an acting background and he just wanted to ride on the bike 

Mr Hatcher wasn’t good at looking after kids because he lost Fudge and made the worst omelette! My dad is good at looking after me because he takes care of me and does fun things with me.

If Fudge swallowed my pet turtle I would be scared what would happen to the turtle and him!

Peter’s mum was a good person and gave good advice. She called the ambulance to take Fudge to the hospital.

When I read the story I wondered how it is even possible to swallow a turtle? How can it fit through Fudge’s tubes (oesophagus)?

I like compliments. It’s nice to give someone a compliment if they do a good job.

I liked the way the story ends. I feel good that Peter got the pet that he always wanted...a dog that was big enough that Fudge couldn’t eat it!

I enjoyed the story and give it an eight & a half out of ten because it’s fun and entertaining!

I know a Young Man who Swallowed a Turtle

 By Christian

I know a young man, who swallowed a turtle,

I don’t know why he swallowed the turtle,

I guess he will hurl.

I know a young man, who ate kelp just for a snack,

He swallowed the kelp to feed the turtle.

I don’t know why he swallowed the turtle,

I guess he will hurl.

I know a young man, who swallowed a living fish,

Wait, What?

He swallowed the fish to harvest the kelp,

He swallowed the kelp to feed the turtle,

I don’t know why he swallowed the turtle,

I guess he will hurl.

Next minute, with a swish and a flutter and a whole lot of kelper

Hurl, hurl, HURL!

Off into the sea with such a hurtle flew the turtle.

 Week 1 Questions answered by Savvy

Question 1 What is Peter's biggest problem ? The turtle. Why is this a problem? His mum didn’t like the smell. He had to wash his hands at dinner three times because his hands smelt like a turtle. How does Peter feel? Annoyed with his mum but knowing he had to have clean hands for dinner. 

Question 2 I don’t have any younger siblings 

Question 3 Fudge loves socks! What is something that you love to play with? My dog and bunny toy. Because I can run around chasing my dog. I love to cuddle my toy bunny. 

Question 4 Fudge wants to be a bird or a dog. If you could be any animal, what would it be and why? I would love to be a monkey because you get to eat bananas and climb on stuff and have fun like I do. 

Question 5 What does Peter's dad do to get Fudge to eat? Tipped cornflakes on top of him in the bath. It was a great idea because fudge ate again. 

Question 6 Fudge falling over and losing his two front teeth was an accident. Have you ever had a bad accident? NO

Question 7 - Do you think it is fair of Peter's mum to blame him for Fudge's accident? Why did she do that? It wasn’t fair of Peter's mum to blame him. Because she didn’t have anyone else to blame that was taking care of fudge 

Question 8 Why do you think that Fudges parents don’t call him Farley? Do you have any nicknames? Because Farley is a weird name . My nicknames are Savvy and Banana! 

Make a prediction what you think will happen next? Peter will go to fudge’s birthday party?

The Revenge Of The Three Erics

The Revenge Of The Three Erics
By Isla

The Erics were like brothers, they did everything together.
Everybody hated them. They teased them and called them names.
But tonight was the night that the Erics got their REVENGE!!! Mwahahahaha! Mwahaha- cough , cough , splutter , splutter , cough. 

It was nearing midnight and there was no sign of the third Eric, Eric Bacon. The moonlight was shining down on the small school playground as the two brothers waited for the last brother to arrive. Their warm breath turning into fog. As the cold mist cleared a dark figure stepped out and slowly walked towards them and said....

" Hey guys sorry I'm late my mum was washing the dishes and my dad was watching the footy match on the couch tonight" said Eric Bacon.
"Okay but next time try to be quicker please!" said Eric Ovens
"Did you bring the super-glue?" asked Eric Fry
"Yep!" said Eric Bacon
"Okay lets go!" said Eric Ovens
They ran up to the school doors and Eric Fry took out a paper clip from the pocket of his grey anorak, he unfolded it and picked the heavy steel pad-lock off the front door and stepped in. 
Eric Bacon tripped over the door step and hit his shin. He started to cry. 
"Come on Fatso!" whined Butterfingers
"Shhhhhhh!" said Crabapple
"You're gonna get us caught!" whispered Butterfingers
Fatsos cry hushed to a whimper, as he stood up he finally stopped crying. 
"Come on! We need to keep moving!" said Crabapple

By the way, Fatso is Eric Bacon, Crabapple is Eric Ovens and Butterfingers is Eric Fry.  Lets carry on.....

They were half way up the towering stair case when they heard the familiar whistling of the school janitor. DUN DUN DUN!
"Shhhhh" whispered Fatso
Their bodies froze with fear as their little stubby fingers trembled and shivered. There was no where to hide and it would be the end if they got caught sneaking around school at this hour up to no good. The only thing they could do was run all the way down the stairs and hide in the lockers on the first floor. Now that I think of it I kind of feel bad for the janitor since there is no elevator and he has to heave that old trolley up and down the stairs rattling along.

They run down the stair case and hide in the lockers quietly. After a series of whistling and mopping the floor the janitor finally leaves. They peek out of the lockers and there was no sight of the janitor, the coast was clear. They ran back up the 29 flights of stairs and they finally reach the top!
"FINALLY!" shouted Crabapple 
"Shhhh! Keep your voice down!" whispered Butterfingers 
"Okay, get the glue out now" whispered Fatso
"But I thought you had it?!" said Crabapple
"I gave it to Butterfingers!" said Fatso
They both turned to glare at Butterfingers.
"Oh no guys! I must have left it in the lockers on the first floor!" said Butterfingers in a sorry voice
"I'll go get it!" said Crabapple
"No I will, you're too fat." said Fatso
So Fatso was huffing and puffing all the way down and back up. His lungs were getting very heavy now and his chest was inflating and deflating dramatically. 
"Okay guys I'm here now!" said Fatso
"I'll have some!" said Crabapple
Fatso poured the glue evenly into three small bowls. Each of them took one and they pulled all of the desk chairs out including Mrs. Jewls and poured a good serving of glue onto each chair seat except for theirs. Once they were finished they tucked each chair in under the desks and left. 

The next day............................
All of the pupils sat down in their seats and a loud squishing noise was made.
"What was that?" asked Alison
"I dunno?" said Paul 
 All of the Erics grinned. When the recess bell rang Mrs. Jewls told everyone that they were dismissed and that they could all go to lunch now. But when everyone went to stand up..... they couldn't! They were STUCK!
"Well what are you waiting for?" asked Mrs. Jewls
"We can't get up!" cried Rondi
"Help us!" cried Dana
But when Mrs. Jewls went to stand up, SHE couldn't either!
"Oh no!" said Mrs. Jewls
"I can't get up either!" cried Mrs Jewls
"But we can!" shouted all three Erics together.
All three Erics stood up and walked to the front of the class.
"No more Fatso!" shouted Eric Bacon
"No more Crabapples!" shouted Eric Ovens
"No more Butterfingers!" shouted Eric Fry
" Now, good luck trying to stand up!" shouted all Erics together as the disappeared for recess.
                                        The End

  

the three Erics (REVENGE)

                   The three Erics (REVENGE)

Eric Fry, Eric Bacon and Eric Ovens these people are bullied so much everyone called them names for example, Eric Fry is Butterfingers, Eric Bacon is Fatso and Eris Ovens is Crabapple. I have NO idea how these names occurred but anyway lets get to the story...


Well everything was going to change. It was a rainy day and the three Erics decided to lock everyone out, but when they locked them out they locked them out of the very enormous school and plummeted down 30 storeys because for some reason a big hole appeared from Deedee jumping 10 stairs at a time. So you know they were gone yay the Erics were free!


But what they didn't know was that Louis the yard teacher was still alive and he saw what happened so he decided to walk up the 30 storeys to find the three Erics. Eventually he found them and got really angry, but since it's a sideways school in 5 minutes they would of forgotten what happened so they FORGOT-wow.


After everyone got out of hospital they wanted revenge. But as you know this is a revenge story about the three Erics; Eric Fry, Eric Bacon and Eric Ovens, so I will maybe do another revenge story about the other kids in Mrs Jewls class....
The End

Revenge of the Three Erics!

REVENGE OF THE THREE ERICS!!!

This is a story about three students all named Eric.

Eric Fry, Eric Bacon and Eric Ovens.

Eric Bacon is a kind skinny boy but because his name is Eric, everybody thinks he is fat and mean so his nickname is Fatso.

Eric Fry is very athletic with lots of muscle which makes him look fat. 

One day, Eric Fry was playing cricket when he accidentally dropped a ball so of course everyone calls him Butterfingers.

Eric Ovens is the nicest student in Mrs Jewls class but his name is Eric so everyone thinks he is mean so his nickname is Crabapple.

The three Eric's were sick of being called names and teased so the next day......

Dameon's nickname was meaneon.

Deedee's nickname was Weedy.

Bebe's nickname was seedy and Allison's nickname was Miss Wonderland (from Alice in wonderland).

But when the next day rolled around, every human in Wayside School had a nickname except the three Eric's (who were finally being called by their names).

Next week, Mrs Museum Exhibition (Mrs Jewls) was so mad at the three Eric's, in one go she wrote, ticked and circled the three Erics name so that day, the three Eric's went home with Mr Odd (Todd) on the Kindergarten bus.

The Erics revenge by Mischa

      THE ERICS REVENGE                            

  It was a cold day and the Erics thought they must get revenge on everyone in room 30 because every one was calling them names. 
First they put a bucket filled of sticky slime on the top of the door. So when the students opened the door slime will fall all over them. 
Then they put ants in all the students desks. They put Sammy [the rat] on Mrs Jewls desk. The bell rang all the students and Mrs Jewls came in to the classroom.The bucket of slime fell on everyone, all the students and Mrs Jewls were completely covered. Mrs Jewls said to wash off.... everyone came back and cleaned up but the Erics didn't clean up. 
Mrs Jewls sat down at her desk and screamed "aaaaaa" 
"Whats wrong Mrs Jewls?" said Bebe 
"There's a rat on my desk!" said Mrs Jewls 
"Maybe its Sammy?" said Dameon 
"Or maybe it's Sammys mum!" said Todd 
"No no no" said Mrs Jewls "its just a dead rat. Kathy come and put it in the bin" said Mrs Jewls "But I hate rats!" said Kathy
"I don't care" said Mrs Jewls "just put the dumb rat in the bin"
"Fine" said Kathy "but don't expect me to pick up a dead rat again"
"You can have a tootsie roll after" said Mrs Jewls
"I hate tootsie roll's" said Kathy.
"Kathy put the dead rat in the bin and sit down". Mrs Jewls asked the children to take out their writing books all of the ants started to crawl out of the children's desks the ants started to crawl all over the children "aaaaaaaaaa" all the children screamed. 
Eric Fatso laughed.

"Ooh a note thank-you person from floor 30 " said Miss Zarves in an excited voice

"Hmm Miss Jewls doesn't  want to have lunch" said Tom
"Ok Tom take this note to Miss Jewls" said Miss Zarves in a surprised voice.
"Ok" said Tom so he walked up the 30 flights of stairs. Then when he finally made it to the 30 story
he gave the note to Miss Jewls when he left everyone in there started partying because Miss Jewls thought Miss Zarves was annoying.  Then Tom went back to class he told Miss Zarves what had happened then Miss Zarves screamed angrily "MISS JEWLS I HATE WHAT SHE DID"
The end. Nah I'm kidding in the end Miss Jewls and Miss Zarves became friends again.
The next day Miss Jewls asked if Miss Zarves wanted to come to lunch and Miss Zarves said "yes" and that was the real end.

Wayside school the revenge of the Eric's!

The revenge of the Eric's!

The three Eric's known as Eric Fatso, Eric Butterfingers and Eric Crab-apples they where tired of people calling them by their nicknames, they thought of a little payback, so they tied some string to all the chairs in the whole school and then Eric Butterfingers leaned back on his chair and all the chairs school dragged to one side of the building and the school tipped over.

Then the three Eric's bought 30 million bowling balls and one dispenser, they put the dispenser on the ground and activated it and 30 million bowling balls flew out to the 30th story while the class was on a field trip but when they came back the 30th story was...

SMASHED!!!

After that the three Eric's poured oil on the stairs and anyone who walked/ran will slide down to the bottom.

The Revenge of the Erics

The Revenge of the Erics

Once there were three Erics that were always bullied by others. One was called Eric Bacon another was called Eric Fry and the last one was called Eric Oven. 
One day Eric Fry missed a ball that was two km away from where he was so they started calling him Butterfingers. Eric Bacon was the skinniest boy in the class but because his brothers weren't they called him fatso. Eric Ovens was the nicest boy in the class but because he was an Eric they called him Crabapple. 
The three Erics were sick of it so they made a plan to get revenge.
The next day the Erics came to school early they ran to the toilets and opened up their bag and took out 600 jars of  hot tar. They opened up one jar and spread the tar on the seat of the toilet. They opened another and put that on the seat of the another toilet soon all of the toilets in the school had tar on them. 
Five days later one of the bullies sat on the toilet he screamed it was so hot and when he tried to get off the toilet just wobbled  and pulled him back. Soon all the bullies in the school were stuck
 and screaming for help! The three Erics said "we will let you out if you stop bulleying us" 
"Yes, yes" said the bullies "just let us out"
So the three Erics let them out and they never heard from them again.

Wayside - finally Miss Zarves's

Wayside School by Louis Sacher.

  A new chapter - Miss Zarves
by Carlos Campen
 

Miss Zarves she is a pointy fingered teacher identical to Miss Gorf but 10 times nicer & don't even get me started on the personality. All of the kids want to be in her class for 2 reasons 1 they don't have to climb 30 storeys & second of all she is the nicest teacher in the world. Miss Zarves is on the 19th floor so as you can see much closer then the 30th floor. The 19th floor didn't even exist until they decided to build the 19th floor. While Miss Zarves didn't even exist while that is another story to be told. Miss Zarves does not do Disipline, she does not send kids home early on the bus which has a + and a - ;Todd gets to see what they do after 12:00 but then he has to stay at School for longer.

At the end of each day every one gets a lolly not just one but a whole head full "wow I want to be in that class" I said to myself, why am I talking to myself? Aaaaaa my head is going crazy. Look my thingy mybob aaaaaaaa I am in room 19 in your face Todd and all of those kids in Miss Jewls class.

Carlos

Todd [rewriting of his first day]

It was Todd's first day at the new school. He was not happy about it. Well his brother, Odd, had his first year of school and by the end of the year he was an apple! [now at least he tasted quite good]
So Todd was walking down the halls when he came to Class 4. Then he hung up his bag and went into class. As he walked into class he noticed something, something strange, something old, something smelly.....Oh no it was Mr Move It. 
Mr Move It was Todd's neighbour.
Mr Move It told Todd he was relieving for Miss Jewls. But THAT was only the beginning!
When Mr Move It farted the stink flew onto the chalkboard and made a stain. It was a piece of FartArt. But when Mr Move It saw it he told Bebe Gunn to draw a maths symbol over the stain. "WHO SQUEEZED THAT FART OUT OF ME?" screamed Mr Move It with all of his voice. 

P.S everyone's name was put under the word DISCIPLINE 
Now it's the end...sort of.
If you have read this story and have any notifications to make then do a whopping great stink.

The 16th story of Wayside School

Chapter 81181825    Miss Cheeseman

Miss Cheeeseman is a nice, loud teacher with hair down to her ears and a slightly small nose. She very rarely gets mad but when she does she wiggles her nose and vibrates her eyebrows and turns someone into CHEESE. Miss Cheeseman's classroom is on the 16th story. 
One rainy day, Carlos was talking in class so Miss Cheeseman wiggled her nose, vibrated her eyebrows and turned Carlos into a big lump of smelly blue cheese. After School that day, Miss Cheeseman was so sick of the cheeses stench so she threw it out the window. 
The next day, Deacon was bragging to Katie about how much work he had done so Miss Cheeseman wiggled her nose, vibrated her eyebrows and turned Deacon into a small lump of cheese. Maddyson (who sits near Deacon) picked up Deacon (or should I say Briecon) and plopped him into her mouth!
"YUM" said Maddyson "BRIE".

By Harry 

Leigh [the new Wayside student]

Chapter 1: Leigh

Leigh has brown hair and brown eyes. Her full name is Leigh Monagahan. She is very sporty. Her favourite sport is cricket. She plays it every chance she gets.
You won't believe what her teacher does, she makes people into cheese. Do you want to know why? Because her name is Miss Cheeseman. Do you know how she turns people into cheese?  She flaps her arms and wiggles her nose and then you turn into cheese! She turns you into cheese because she loves it in her cereal, and lunch and dinner!
So back to Leigh.
Her best friends are Charleigh, Pepe and Hanah, they talk a lot! When I mean they talk a lot - I mean they TALK A LOT! 
So one day Carlos and Ben were fighting in class and Miss Cheeseman was on her computer. She heard them and so she flapped her arms and wiggled her nose and Carlos and Ben turned into cheese! They ended up sitting on her desk for the whole day. 
Then Charleigh, Pepe and Hanah were talking [a lot] so Miss Cheeseman flapped  her arms and wiggled her nose and turned them all into cheese! They were sitting on the table next to cheese Carlos and cheese Ben.
So that's a little chapter all about Leigh.
