Mrs Twit Gets a Stretching
Mr Twit led Mrs Twit outdoors where he had everything ready for the great
stretching. He had one hundred balloons and lots of string. He had a glass cylinder
for filling balloons. He had fixed an iron ring to the ground. “Stand here,” he said,
pointing to the iron ring. When that was done, he began filling the balloons with gas.
Each balloon was on a long string and when it was filled with gas it pulled on its
string, trying to go up and up. Mr Twit tied the ends of the strings to the top half of
Mrs Twit’s body. Some he tied round her neck, some he tied under her arms, some to
her wrists and some even to her hair. Soon there were fifty coloured balloons floating
in the air above Mrs Twit’s head. “Can you feel them stretching you?” asked Mr Twit.
“I can! I can!” cried Mrs Twit. “They’re stretching me like mad”.
He put on another ten balloons. The upward pull became very strong. Mrs Twit was
quite helpless now. With her feet tied to the ground and her arms pulled upwards by
the balloons, she was unable to move. She was a prisoner, and Mr Twit had intended
to go away and leave her when Mrs Twit opened her big mouth and said something
silly.
“Are you sure my feet are tied properly to the ground?” she gasped. “If those strings
around my ankles break, it’ll be goodbye for me!”
And that’s what gave Mr Twit his second nasty idea.
1) How many balloons did Mr Twit have?
2) Which of Mrs Twit’s body parts did Mr Twit tie the balloons to?
3) Why does Roald Dahl write that Mrs Twit was ‘like a prisoner’?
4) What do you think Mr Twit’s second nasty idea could be?
5) Why does the author use the word ‘gasped’ instead of ‘said’ when Mrs Twit asks if
her feet are tied to the ground properly?
Mrs Twit Goes Ballooning Up
“There’s enough pull here to take me to the moon!” Mrs Twit cried out.
“To take you to the moon!” exclaimed Mr Twit. “What a ghastly thought! We wouldn’t
want anything like that to happen, oh dear me no!”
“We most certainly wouldn’t!” cried Mrs Twit. “Put some more string around my
ankles quickly! I want to feel absolutely safe!”
“Very well, my angel,” said Mr Twit, and with a ghoulish grin on his lips he knelt down
at her feet. He took a knife from his pocket and with one quick slash he cut through
the string holding Mrs Twit’s ankles to the iron ring. She went up like a rocket.
“Help!” she screamed. “Save me!”
But there was no saving her now. In a few seconds she was high up in the blue sky
and climbing fast.
Mr Twit stood below looking up. “What a pretty sight!” he said to himself. “How
lovely all those balloons look in the sky! And what a marvellous bit of luck for me! At
last the old hag is lost and gone forever.”
Mrs Twit may have been ugly and she may have been beastly, but she was not
stupid. High up there in the sky, she had a bright idea. “If I can get rid of some of
these balloons, I will stop going up and start to come down,” she said to herself. She
began biting through the strings that held the balloons to her wrists and arms and
neck and hair. Each time she bit through a string and let the balloon float away, the
upward pull got less and her rate of climb slowed down. When she had bitten
through twenty strings, she stopped going up altogether. She stayed still in the air.
She bit through one more string. Very, very slowly, she began to float downwards.
1. What did Mr Twit do to Mrs Twit which sent her up into the sky?
2. How do we know that Mrs Twit was scared when she went into the sky?
3. Why did Mr Twit send Mrs Twit up?
4. Find the simile in the text.
5. What did Mrs Twit do to get herself down?
6. How many strings did Mrs Twit bite through, to make herself still in the air?
Why Should We Recycle?
Every year throughout the whole country our ‘rubbish mountain’ grows. We throw
our rubbish into our bins and forget all about it.
Where does it go?
It gets taken to the local ‘landfill’ site and is buried in the ground. We often call the
landfill, the rubbish tip.
What happens then?
As it rots it produces an explosive gas called methane and liquid filled with nasty
poisons sink into our water sources (rivers), polluting them. This becomes a threat to
fish, bird life and plants that grow near the rivers.
Much of the rubbish we throw away can be ‘recycled’ and used again.
paper
glass
metals
plastic
kitchen and garden waste can be turned into compost.
old furniture and clothes can be sent to be resold or re-used.
Mobile phones
Ink cartridges from printers.
Each week in this country every household creates huge amounts of rubbish. It’s
thought that we throw away.
3 kg of paper
1.25 kg of glass
2 kg of cans and 1kg of plastic
All this rubbish goes to a local ‘landfill site’.
Why throw it away when we can re-use?
Recycling is good for the environment because we don’t just keep taking raw
materials to make things but can make things from the rubbish. Also we aren’t
putting rubbish in the ground that turns into poisons. And, we aren’t taking up
precious land to bury our rubbish in.
1. Why is recycling important?
2. What is a landfill site?
3. Why is the landfill site bad for the environment?
4. What does ‘recycle’ mean?
5. Complete the table below. There is a column of types of materials that can be
recycled, in the opposite column make a small list of the objects you know or can see
that are made from that material. For example, paper is used for newspapers.

Ratburger-diary entry
Dear diary, 19/10/2018
Sorry that I haven’t wrote in a while, I’ve been very busy training Armitage (my rat) to
dance.
Sadly, I have had an awful day today! This morning, I walked to school because my
dad still has not got his car fixed. When I was walking out of the flats I felt a huge
flobbet of flob on my head! Can you guess who it was? Tina Trotts of course! I
thought this would stop once I got to big school…
Later that day, I was stood in the lunch queue when Tina’s friend (Sally) tripped me
up in the line. I fell right into my tray of food; I was so embarrassed! It took so long to
get the stain out in the toilets. Eventually, the stain came off.
Finally, it was home time. Tina Trotts and her gang of witches followed me all the way
home calling me lots of horrible names. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I ran the rest
of the way home.
A while later, I arrived home. Unfortunately, my dad was not home, which meant
Sheila was going to be horrible to me. When I walked in she shouted “Oi brat, come
‘ere!”. I ignored her and decided to go to my bedroom. It’s times like these that I
wished my mam was here…
I am not at school tomorrow so I think it will be a better day.
