Writer of the Week


After reading lots of Hairy Maclary books by Lynley Dodd we had a go at retelling creatively in our own words or creating our own Hairy Maclary story.

One sunny day Slinky Malinky jumbled out of bed and scrambled through the door.  He raced round the garden, zoomed through the blackberry bushes, got covered in juice then ran up the tree.  Up, up, up then he got stuck!  He howled at the ground and all around that sound echoed around.  Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy was off for a walk then suddenly he heard that sound that echoed around.
"Roof, roof, roof," said Hairy Maclary as he rushed to the tree.  
Hercules Morse as big as a horse was lying under a big green tree when suddenly he heard that sound that echoed around.  
"Woof, woof, woof," said Hercules Morse as he ran to the tree.  Bottomly Potts was rolling around with his feet in the air and his tongue hanging out, when suddenly came the sound that echoed around.
"Ro, ro, ro," said Bottomly Potts as he went to the tree.
Muffin McLay was in the tub by the path when suddenly came the sound that echoed around.  Muffin Mclay was out of the tub and at the tree.
Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony was having his lunch, his tastiest meal of all, when suddenly came the sound that echoed around.
"Wo, wo, wo," said Bitzer Maloney and then he ran to the tree.
Schnitzel von Krumm was jumping about with his tail sticking up.  He was trying to leap to the top of the fence but he kept failing when suddenly came the sound that echoed around.  He got such a fright he flew to the top of the fence, then jumped down and ran to the tree.
Soon all the dogs were barking under the tree that Slinky Maliny was in.  
Along came a girl who owned Slinky Malinky.  She ran to get her mum.  Her mum got the ladder from the rusty, dusty, shed they were going to bust.  Then Slinky Malinky burst down the ladder straight to his bed where he's safe and sound.
