Cautionary text writing
Years 5 and 6 at Meadowbrook Montessori School have been learning about cautionary writing particularly Alice through the Looking Glass, The Walrus and the Carpenter by Lewis Carroll. This inspired the children to write their own pieces.
Larry and the Beer
Larry drunk beer and watched Nyan cat all day,
And sang hurray
He had a funny feeling And stuck to the ceiling One day he had a lot of beer and fell in a ditch in the middle of the
pitch
And couldn't get out
again
He climbed, struggled, flipped, rolled but it was no use
In the end he was to lose And died!! by Freddy
Fleur
(Who played with needles and died of blood loss)
Frightful Fleur was very
naughty,
And she could be
awfully haughty.
One day her parents
said to her,
"Why do you sew, dear
little Fleur?"
"I can manage sewing by
myself,
As I'm definitely not a
little elf!"
And so that day she was
sewing,
She did not notice, she
had no knowing! Very soon the needle hit
her skin,
When she pulled it up,
she pierced her chin! Her sister, brother,
mother and gran, Rushed to call the
ambulance man! Went to hospital, all too
late,
She was covered in blood, what a dreadful state! By Dottie
Use Your Brains Don't Run Into Trains
Never run onto a
railway line,
If you do, you might get
a fine.
Use your head,
Or you might end up
dead!
This is what happened
to someone I know, He made a mistake, his
name was Beau. He ran straight in front
of a train,
And that was the end of
Beau's small brain. Never run onto a
railway line,
If you do, you might get
a fine.
His head was splattered
all over the track Beau's definitely not
coming back. By Christian
Malone in the Dark
(Don't misname objects - you'll regret it) Misnaming objects
sounds so strange, but Malone made a very
strange, exchange. He politely requested, a rounded watermelon,
But received a very
small sour lemon!
His anger built up like
building bricks, He started at the man
with an angry fix. Then yelled, "what is wrong, with you, madman?"
I have a problem with words, but I'm still a fan.
When Malone got home, he went down to the kitchen, and the lemon on the counter started twitching!
Suddenly the lemon exploded with a big bang,
And that was the end of
the grumpy old man. So don't go naming things the wrong name,
Or you will get blown
up, what a shame! By George
