Starting the week with Chatting.
I like chatting.
I chat to the cat, and I chat in the car.
Alfie was quite sure that something huge and horrible was coming to eat them up. He began to scream and scream.
They saw a big pink nose coming through the tent flap. It had very large wet nostrils.

Alfie could hardly wait until bedtime.
They had supper in the kitchen, jacket potatoes and baked beans.
Then they set out. It was strange not to be going upstairs to bed but down the garden, through the gate and into the field.

After that they went inside the tent and lay down on the cushions. Alfie pretended it was night-time and there was a forest all around of wolves, snakes & snarling tigers. Annie Rose was not quite sure whether she liked this part of the game.

Bonting was nowhere to be seen! Alfie looked all around. There were stones everywhere, hundreds and hundreds of them, but not one was wearing a green and black striped bathing suit.

Starting the week by introducing the MacNally family -
Alfie lived in the city with his mum and dad and his little sister, Annie Rose. Right across the street lived their good friends the MacNallys. There was Bob and Jean MacNally, their daughter Maureen and their old cat Smoky.
If it had been raining Alfie liked to go stamping about in mud and walking through puddles, splish, splash, SPLOSH!

This week we will be looking at Olly and Me, first published by Walker Books in 2004.
‘What shall we do now, I wonder?’ said Grandma when they were all dry again. ‘It’s not lunchtime yet. I think we had better go on an indoor expedition.’

The lane outside Grandma’s gate had a stream running down the middle of it and plenty of mud. They held hands and slithered along together. It was fun at first, sloshing about. But soon Annie Rose’s boots were full of water.
