The David Williams Challenge - Grubby Gertrude
Every day David Walliams will read aloud an extract from his book and we will set tasks for each year group to complete.
Your task:
YR – Can you make your own rubbish monster?
Y1 - Draw Grubby Gertrude. What words could you use to describe her?
Y2 - Draw Grubby Gertrude's room and label with expanded noun phrases to describe it.
Y3 - Write a descriptive paragraph of the monster including similes and expanded noun phrases.
Y4 - Imagine you can hear what the rubbish monster is thinking. Can you write down the conversation he might be having with himself when he is eating the rubbish and then spots Gertrude.
Y5 - Imagine Mum was telling a neighbour all about her disgusting child. Can you write the conversation, making sure you punctuate the speech properly?
Y6 - Why do you think Gertrude has become this way? Were there any clues in the text? Using different sentence openers, can you think of a back story that explains this?
If you need an extra challenge:
create your own rubbish monster using junk modelling.
Don’t forget to send your work to stanmoresupport@stanmoreprimary.com and your work will be forwarded to your teacher!
Look out tomorrow after lunch for your next set of challenges.
