MONSTROUS WEEKEND!

f
Well done everyone for your homework about the picture last week, they were fantastic! I really enjoyed reading them.

Your homework for this weekend is to imagine you have gone home after school on Friday, and you have been told you have to look after the furry gremlin in the picture above for the weekend. I want you to write a diary entry about all of the things you get up to over the weekend. Will he be a good or bad gremlin? Will you do anything special?

Try to make your writing as interesting as possible and your challenge this time is to use at least:

- 1 subordinate clause

- 5 different time adverbials (time connectives)

- An emotion sentence

Good luck! Well done to Jessica for winning the Writer of the Week trophy for last week!

  1. One Friday evening I was sitting on the muddy,brown couch.Suddenly I heard a hard knok at the front door.I opend the dorr and there stood a girl ,who must have been crying, “What’s the matter?” I asked. “I have to leave my little gremmy here with you” the girl replied.Angry,Furious,Annoyed I shouted “WHAT! I DID NOT SIGHN UP FOR LOOKING AFTER A GREMLIN!” “Don’t be silly you don’t have to sign up here you go” she said and she popped the furry green creture in my hand and slammed the door.

  2. As I walked through the door after a long day at school I heard a little growl come from the living room. I opened the door to the living room and I saw ….. the cutest little green monster sitting on the carpet! Mum, who was cooking tea, said “His name is Zack. Your Aunt Blagoogle sent him. He is going to stay with us over the weekend.” “OK.” I replied. I knelt down on the carpet and picked Zack up. Then I carried him upstairs and sat him on my bed.

    The next day, I came down for breakfast and I saw Zack sitting in a bowl of cereal! It happend again on Sunday! I’m really sad he’s gone now. He was so much fun.

  3. I was amazed to hear that I was taking home the cute, green gremlin for the weekend. I was so excited to see what we could get up to together. On Saturday I woke up to find my house a complete mess. I glanced over at the gremlins cage and he had vanished. I had to find him or else I would be in big, big trouble. I was looking everywhere, under the bed in cupboards behind the curtains, but I couldn’t find him. It was a couple of hours later when although I couldn’t see him I could hear him chuckling to himself. I then heard him sing, “I can see you”, so I shouted “come out, come out wherever you are, let’s go to the park for an ice cream.” Just then the little gremlin appeared behind me I was so relieved to see him. “Can we go to the park now?” He pleaded, so the mischievous gremlin and I went to the park for a peaceful afternoon.

  4. One evening I was babysitting a green monster and this is what I got up to:
    Friday

    Sunday
    First,we went to Mc Donald’s for breakfast.
    Next,we went shopping in river island.
    After that,we had dinner at the range.
    Finally,he had to go back home but we had.
    Upset,lonely and heart broken that he has left.

  5. “Hello” exclaimed the little green gremlin stupidly. I wondered why this this green creature was sitting on the stairs as I came back from free running . Shocked and surprised , I walked over to the little gremlin and ruffled his hair. The gremlin explained to me that he came to our planet because his was being destroyed by the shimmy shams,i didn’t know who they where, from planet olly murs. We eventually sat down and watched I’m a celebrity GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!! I cannot wait to see what tomorrow brings.

  6. When I was walking home from school on Friday, there was a gremlin waiting at the door he was cute, green and fuzzy. When I opened the door he ran in, and broke a vase as he was doing it! He went back to the door, and asked me “can we go to the park?” We went to the park, he ran away to hid. We were playing hide and seek for hours well that’s how long it seemed.

    Finally I found him and we got home. He when to the kitchen, five minutes later I heard a loud CRASH followed by a BANG! I got up and there he was making music with the pots and pans. What a tiring day!!!

  7. Dear diary,
    What a thrilling Saturday it has been! Firstly as I got out of my cosy, warm bed I remembered sleeping in my wardrobe was the cutest,softest,friendliest little green gremlin who had come to stay with me. Following a messy breakfast whereby the gremlin destroyed the kitchen!we set off to the park. Excitably, Gremmie (as I called him) whizzed me around the roundabout and giggled uncontrollably flying down the slide. The fun did not stop there. Afterwards we went to the zoo. Gremmie looked so happy to see all the animals he danced around all the cages. Since we were hungry next stop was McDonalds. Gremmie ate absolutely everything on the massive menu! (I thought he was going to be sick) Finally the most exciting part…. When it began to get dark Gremmies blue eyes began to get bright like cats eyes in the road. Suddenly he held my hand and whoosh we began flying through the night sky over the rooftops and fields below. I couldn’t believe it! Gremmie could fly!
    Nobody will believe this at school on Monday!

  8. “Hello!I hope you have got some exiting games to play, I am feeling very hyper this weekend!” Grinned the gremlin. Anxious, I wearily smiled. I was hoping for this to be a relaxing, calm weekend. As the bell rang, me and the furry, emerald green gremlin speedily sprinted though the tiny puddles along the path way.” So what have you got planned this weekend swimming, tennis, watching some tv? Come on tell me, please.” Begged the gremlin.
    Later that afternoon, We reached home. Tired, I collapsed on the sofa. Unfortunately, the gremlin, who was called Greg, was ravenous and restless. The gremlin carelessly knocked over my sister’s best vase as he ran into the kitchen.
    “Oh no!” I sobbed, my sister’ll be so angry at me. “This is going to be an ‘interesting’ weekend.” I mumbled.
    The next morning, I woke up to loud crashes coming from the kitchen. Greg was not there beside me. I rushed down stairs to find the kitchen to be like a pig sty. A second later, I began to cry. Thanks to that awful gremlin my sister is so angry at me, my mum will be so annoyed and she will be shattered if has to clean all this mess. Soon, the naughty gremlin realised and why.
    “Sorry ok! I do what gremlins do getting into trouble not because we are naughty it is because we all want to stay together so we be so we all be so naughty so we get thrown back into the wild.” Explained Greg. I began to understand .The next day, I took him out into the wild. He was so ecstatic that I that I told the school and they let out all the gremlins.
    “Bye Greg I will come and visit you!”I grinned. He smiled and ran off.

  9. Blahoha! “What’s that noise?I screeched!
    I ran down down the dark scary gloomy stairs to my nan. ” nan nan there is a tiny,green,hairy,big eyed gremlin jumping on my bed!”we both went to look nan said to me just leave it you might regret it. “Abbie” nan shouted. “Go and tidy your room!”
    The gremlin talks the same language as I do. Which is surprisingly good because I can talk to it and tell it what to do when I finally reached my room “I want to keep this gremlin!” It does everything it tidyed my room and made my breakfast this morning.
    On Sunday a man came to the door. The man, dressed in the blue uniform , knocked on our door. Nan answered the door. He said”sign up on this sheet if you want to keep this gremlin.”
    We all paused for a moment. What you are asking us cause we will sighn up to the sheet he is a little helper around the house I whisperd. So me and nan looked after it forever, well it kind of looked after its self.

  10. As I returned home from a tiring day at school, I remembered that I had to take care of a gremlin! But this gremlin was not a mischievious type instead he was a joy to gremlin-sit. “Shall we play hide and seek?” suggested the gremlin. Then I creeped into the master bedroom and hid under the bed. Anxious, that the gremlin didn’t find me, I quickly changed hiding places to the luscious, colossal garden.

    Suddenly, the gremlin yelled “boo, I found you!”. After playing hide and seek, we drank chilled, pink lemonade in crystal glasses. The gremlin, who had developed hiccups, did a handstand against the fence. Eventually the hiccups stopped. What a relief they were over! Finally, the mother gremlin came and picked up her son. It was another enjoyable afternoon gremlin-sitting, I hope he visits again.

  11. I am so tired I screeched as I fed the cute, fluffy , mischievous monster. “Are you coming to the brocket with us?” My mum asked timidly. “No way, not with this gremlin! I bellowed.
    The monster, who was being naughty , chewed the bright , blue colossal carpet!

    “Fantastic!” I shouted as I clenched my fists in anger!
    Just then, I could see that he was nibbling on the huge block of cheese! But not just that! He started eating my mums gorgeous, shimmering dress!

    The next day , we drove to McDonalds. Terrified , unhappy and agitated me and the gremlin tiptoed into the dirty disgusting toilet . So I took the naughty gremlin to the toilet.

    A few horrible moments after, me and the gremlin was eating our tasty, mouth-watering chicken nuggets. When we had finished eating we drove back home and listened to some 1D music! But this gremlin hated One direction! And he was licking the CD!

    Then, the cute yet naughty gremlin got his rosy red tong stuck to the clean , white fridge! “Don’t worry I’ll help you get it of!”
    so I did! I LOVED staying with the gremlin!

  12. On Friday I came home feeling so happy because I had been chosen to look after the school gremlin. Just then I noticed that he had broken one of our cups he was very naughty after that we went out for a walk and he got told of because he had smashed someone’s car window. Night soon fell I went to bed and I woke up and I went down stairs and noticed that gremlin had eaten my breakfast I soon got fed up of him and asked my dad if I could send him back to school on Monday “yes” he said.
    “Thanks” I said
    I began to feel happy and relieved.

  13. Dear diary,
    Today I have just come home from school and I have to look after the school gremlin, Bob. He is a green monster about 3 foot tall, With sharp pointy teeth and little claws on the end of his paws. He is a very cheeky gremlin as he nibbles on everything.
    When we came Home from school Bob ate some monster food and I ate a ham butty, which was tasty. Next Bob started roaring as he was thirsty so we gave him a crushed up eyeball drink. Because Bob is a baby monster he was tired at 6:00 so I read him a bed time story and he fell to sleep. We had a great day.
    Tiredly I woke up the next morning and watched monster inc with Bob. Bob was pretending he was sully by roaring and trying to scare people. I then took Bob outside to play football. But I could just kick it over him so we stopped playing. Then we tried to play rugby but he was useless. So we just went and got an ice cream. After that we went to the perk and played on swings. I could push Bob very high. What a tireing weekend. I’ve loved looking after Bob. I will be very upset to give him back to school tomorrow.

  14. After a long, and I mean very long, tiring day at school on Friday I went home and just as I went through the door I saw a small, furry, green gremlin sitting on the bottom of our worn, brown stairs! I felt sad on the inside because I knew he was going to leave at some point but on the outside I felt happy because I was going to spent some time with him. On Saturday we both went to my Grandmas house and that’s were I came up with his name, Fluff. And on Sunday we went to the Trafford centre and bought him a new top! It was great!

  15. Dear Diary,
    Well! Where do I start? You won’t believe this but on Friday I had to babysit a stubborn, quarrelsome monster and no I don’t mean my little brother!
    Initially, I was very proud of what I had achieved with Jezza, (yes, that’s his name) but then it took a turn for the worse!
    What could possibly go wrong with a visit to KFC? Well, so I thought……I explained to the police officer and fire brigade that it was an innocent mistake but let’s just say there was nothing else left for anyone else – either food or the building!! After that awful incident we went to seek space and relaxation at the local park. After watching the water from the pond fill Jezza’s belly I tried to drag him home but we had to go past the playground didn’t we! I can still hear that poor mum’s screams, I bet her child is still spinning on the roundabout!
    Thankfully, as soon as we got home he fell asleep so all is quiet …… well apart from the snoring!!

  16. Friday 20th November,What a surprise i have been chosen to look after Oscar the class gremlin for the weekend, i have heard, from other classmates he can be a bit of a hand full. The journey home from school was quite normal Oscar was fast asleep in the little box we use to transport him.
    Now it is time to go to bed and the there has still not been a peep from Oscar.
    “Its one o’clock in the morning” shouted dad “shut that stupid green thing up, I have work tomorrow”
    I had not slept a wink all night, the noise had started at around nine pm i had never heard a noise like it, it reminded me of a goose honking in the fog mixed with someone grinding their teeth.
    Saturday 21st November,we were meant to be going to a football match but we saw the tyres on the car were popped and Oscar was missing, after a short search we found him in the back garden, he had bits of tyre in his mouth, this gremlin is a nightmare.
    Sunday 22nd November, I am sat on my chair at my computer completing my blog when suddenly oscar leaps on my the the table and starts to scratch at the keys on my laptop as type efcrfgv 3erv 3rkk9p@@[[io55%%%5
    Sorry about that, that was oscar. I HATE GREMLINS

  17. On Friday I came back from school I ran into the house and I heard a strange noise it sounded like a plane but when I Looked it was a space ship in our garden.
    A green cute gremlin walked into our house and said ” Can I be your friend and have some adventures with you this week end? ” Happily I shouted “Yes that would be great !” First we had delicious popcorn and watched hotel transel vania then we had a pillow fight , the soft fluffy pillow burst in half . We found an old smelly cot in the attic so he slept in that. Before we went to sleep he said he liked the musty smell. On Saturday we went to smiths toy shop he was so exited he had never had a toy before he chose a galatic goo shooter .We had so much fun in the after noon playing with it . It shot rotten green goo everywhere ! On Sunday he said “Can we go to London on the shiny grey and red Virgin train ?” It stopped at Warrington and Crewe. When We got to London we went on the underground. First we went on the old rickety tickerty Northern line to embankment then we went on the fast speedy district line to Westminster. At Westminster we saw shiny gold Big Ben it struck at 12o,clock and rang 12 times. We also saw Buckingham palace and the green monster said next time I will spend the weekend with the queen . His space ship came and it was time to say good bye, we had had so much fun he was a good gremlin.

  18. It was just any ordinary day when I heard a knock at the door.Then suddenly out of know where came my mother claiming it was a little monster we were babysitting. Little did I know I was about to be in for a monstrous weekend…

    The door opened, and in popped a cute, fluffy, green and minute gremlin.Shocked, surprised and a little bit scared I took a step back from the small, brown table, which only had three legs, to get further away from the small, green creature.
    This is what we fot upnto at the weekend.
    On saturday:
    We woke up and got ready.Next we ate dinner at the Red Robin. After that we went to bed in our fluffy, blue duvets and snuggled up to our teddies and dreamt of what adventures we would have the next day.
    On Sunday:First we got ready for the long day ahead.We then had to go to wigan to do some shopping for my mum.Later that day my mum finished her shopping and got in a taxi.The gremlin that we were babysitting ran into a shop and soon came out with a STOLEN NECKLACE!!!!!!! My heart was racing as the gremlin ran down the road and soon I found myself running after it! After a while of running we arrived in my home street .After that my mum took the necklace back and I was grounded for a whole month! I hope the gremlin can stay again because it was the BEST WEEKEND EVER!! I would love to babysit again sometime soon

  19. “Oh no! It’s my turn to look after the class gremlin, “I whispered to Hana. “Remember last time when I had it?” she whispered back. “Jessica and Hana stop talking! ” shouted Mr Lyons as he carried on writing 12×5 on the board. “Ring ring!” the bell went for home time. “Jessica, it is your turn to look after the class gremlin. ”

    My mum groaned, she doesn’t like animals, when she saw the horrible green gremlin. I agreed really but nobody else put their name down and I felt sorry for him. He shrugged his little bony shoulders and stuck his tongue out at my mum behind her back (I don’t think he was too keen on her either!) when I got home I looked for the gremlin but he had disappeared. Had he run away or had something more sinister taken place? We may never know!

  20. Well done Year 5! I really enjoyed reading your fantastic diary entries. What wonderful imaginations you have! Great use of subordinate clauses and time adverbials too. Keep it up!
