Year 4 Cautionary Tales
Date: 18th Sep 2015 @ 2:55pm
Year 4 have been reading Jim, A Cautionary Tale which is about a boy who runs away from his nurse at the zoo and as a result gets eaten by a hungry lion.
The children have been very imaginative coming up with alternative endings for Jim and have written their own rhyming couplets . Their work has been absolutely brilliant and I am so proud of what they have produced just two weeks into Year 4.
Here are just a few:
He hadn't gone a yard when CRASH!
Jim had to run as quick as a flash.
Jim had a snack that was too sickly
He had to run around so quickly
Suddenly in the blink of an eye,
He saw a fiesty vulture cry.
Though the vulture saw him look
The vulture didnt move a nook.
In the church Jim did lie,
so every one could say 'Goodbye'.
By Sammy
He hadn't gone a yeard when POOF!
A vulture came on the tiger's roof.
He saw Jim by the lion's cage
Jim spotted the vulture in rage.
Then the vulture made a big stop.
Jim ran into the nearest shop.
The vulture came and swooped him up
And dropped him on a pretty pup.
A lion crept and ate him YUM!
And then all was left was a thumb.
So don't let go of your nurse's hand
Or you will end up below the land.
By Sophie
He hadn't gone a yard, when PUSH!
He got slung into a prickly bush.
He couldn't believe what he saw,
When he thought he heard a lion roar.
He ran and ran and made a stop
but then he hid behind a mop.
The lion took the boy away.
That's the end of Jim's dreadful day.
His mum was very sad he's dead
So off she went, into bed.
That is a lesson to learn
Not to leave and make a turn.
By Neve
He hadn't gone a yard, when SWOOP!
A hungry vulture flew into a nearby hoop.
Mistaking him for being dead
The famished vulture had to be fed.
As he ran in a rage,
Jim locked himself in an empty cage.
Well at least he thought the place was clear
Jim heard a noise that sounded near.
An angry rhino quick as a flash
Came charging to him ready to bash!
Jim quickly lifted up his head
And before you knew it the boy was dead.
By Matilda
He hadn't gone a yard when CHARGE!
He saw a rhino at large.
He looked at Jim in the eye
And kicked him up in the sky
Unfortunately he was dead
So his mum and dad went to bed.
By Charlie
He hadn't gone a yard when SWOOP!
The vulture went in the loop.
It came flying through the sky
While Jim was eating steak pie
It put his claws in Jim's head
Then Jim was dead.
By Lucas
He hadn't gone a yard when CRASH!
A rhino came as quick as a flash.
Suddenly in a blink of an eye
A bulky rhino came charging by.
The huge mammal charged in rage.
He's quite grumpy because his age.
By Marcus
He hadn't gone a yard when CRASH!
He saw a vulture and made a dash.
And hot madly dropped in the rhino cage
The huge mammal stared in rage.
He ran and ran but he was slow
The angry rhino was on the go!
Poor, poor Jim was eaten
For the young boy was sadly beaten.
By Milly
He hadn't gone a yard when POW!
Jim thought he landed near a cow.
Oh no it was a mad rhino
One run and the rhino made a show.
Sadly this tale ends with the boy being dead.
Jim has now only got a head.
