In our Year 2 classes—Satellites and Shuttles—we’ve been diving into Roald Dahl’s hilarious and grossly entertaining book, The Twits. So far, we’ve learned how Mr. and Mrs. Twit love playing horrid tricks on each other, and the children have had plenty of giggles imagining their silly schemes.
But this week, things took a hilarious turn! On Monday, Mr. Twit decided it was time to get his own back on Mrs. Twit for her sneaky trick of cooking him a spaghetti worm dinner. He reached out to our classes, asking us to help him create the most disgusting, gruesome dish imaginable—just like Mrs. Twit’s messy, grossly inventive meals!
The children eagerly set to work, planning the most revolting ingredients they could think of to add to their dish. We had a blast imagining and describing our ingredients, practicing our imperative verbs. Across the corridors, teachers and children passing by could hear us loudly rehearsing: “Drizzle chunks of gooey, orange ear wax,” and “Sprinkle lots of crispy, dried rat droppings!”
Don’t worry—none of these ingredients were real! We used our imaginations to pretend, making sure our descriptions were as gross and funny as possible. The children loved every minute of it, and I’m sure their instruction writing will be absolutely brilliant after this hilarious experience.
What a wonderfully disgusting, imaginative adventure!
