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!

Week 3 chapter chat questions by Savannah

Question 1

No it wasn’t a good idea because fudge wouldn’t go in front of the camera. 

Question 2

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.

Question 3

I would have called a nurse or a doctor.

Question 4

Peter's mum gave good advice so did Peter she did give an example.

 Question 5

I wondered if fudge was going to get into any more trouble.

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.

Regan's Story:

Bens Birthday Pranks

Once upon a time there was a family and there was a boy called Ben and it was his birthday today.

He had a little sister called Megan, a dad named Thomas and his mum's name was Katherine and they were a happy family.

While Thomas was icing the cake for Ben, Megan and Ben were secretly setting up a trick for his dad.

10 minutes later……

Thomas just sprinkled the last sprinkles on the cake and suddenly what looked like a poisonous spider jumped out of nowhere! 

Thomas got a great big fright and then Thomas realised it was a pretend spider. Thomas wondered where the spider came from?

Then an enormous strike of lighting came down while Thomas was just about to light a birthday candle. The lights went out and black struck the house but luckily the candle came on fire.

Thomas lit the last 8 candles and came into the lounge and sang Happy Birthday.

Ben, Megan and Katherine sat down on the couch in the lounge but when Thomas sat down, he got a little prick on the bum. He stood back up and then he saw a plastic thorn and he said Beeennnn. Ben laughed.

Thomas sat down and everyone gathered round.

Ben silently blew out the 9 candles, and the power came back on in five minutes.

They lived happily ever after.

Christian's Story: 
 

This is my Writer's Challenge story:

I was just eating cake - suddenly I went very tall (and fat).  I went bumping through the city trying to lose weight but people started throwing thorns at me and they came sprinkling down on my head.  Everything went black, but how? I was enormous, surely they couldn't find enough oil - wait, oil?  Where did they get the oil?  Silently I tried to find the pool (I couldn't fit in a bucket), but soon I found one! I looked around.  Wow, I was being bombarded with humans!  "Wait!", I said, and they stopped.  "I was just trying to lose weight," I said, "can you help me?" "Here, drink this" said an old man.  I did what he said and I went small again.  "Thanks a lot," I said.

The end - or to be continued?

 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?
