Twits


We read the classic Roald Dahl book "THE TWITS" over two days....the kids loved the book (it was a favourtie of mine too!) For those of you who havn't read the story it goes something like this....Mr and Mrs Twit are 'beastly' people who are beastly to children, animals and each other. They spend their days playing tricks on each other and having ugly thoughts ( that's why they look so ugly.) Mrs Twit put live worms in her husbands spaghetti and tricked him into eating them...then he tricked her into thinking that she was shrinking! The Twits love Bird pie and they glue the branches of the "big dead tree" with the worlds strongest glue so that when they land on the branches at night they stick to it! They also keep a family of monkeys, the muggle wumps in their back yard...and make them do everything upside down! The story has a happy ending though (well not for the Twits, but what can the bad guys expect??) when all of the monkeys and birds come up with a cunning plan.....but you will have to read the book to find out what it is!
We made our own story board up with points from the story but Jacob didn't want to be in the photo!

Hi girls,

You are so clever. What a cool poster, it's just great.

Awesome!

I read The Twits when I was a kid, and I laughed my pants off then ;)
