Stories...

We were given a list of childrens stories to choose from, with the story we picked we have to create drawings and animations to fit with each paragraph... We were also given the option to write our own childrens story with the same characters included, I have decided to write my own (below)...

Bertie makes a cake

It was a cold, rainy day and Bertie the pirate was terribly bored. He sat looking out of the window wondering what to do. Bertie sighed.

Bertie suddenly remembered that it is Toby the tortoises birthday tomorrow and he had forgotten to get him a present! ‘I know’ said Bertie to Pecky the Parrot ‘Lets make Toby an extra special cake for his birthday party!’ ‘What a good idea’ Pecky replied.

After finding Berties umbrella off they went to the shops to buy some ingredients for their extra special birthday cake…

They got some flour, sugar, eggs, butter and cocoa. “Right, I think thats everything” said Bertie “Don’t forget the strawberry sprinkles!” said Pecky

When they got back to Berties house they started to make the cake, mixing up all the flour, eggs, chocolate and butter, it looked yummy! They put the cake in the oven and sat down for a rest, “Oh dear” said Pecky, “I think we’ve made a bit of a mess!”

Bertie and Pecky cleaned up the kitchen and decided that next time they would be tidier! Bertie’s Mummy always says that a good chef is clean and tidy!

The kitchen was sparkling clean when there was a knock at the door, it was Kate the kitten, she wanted to borrow Berties ball. “Just a second, I’ll go and get it” said Bertie.

Kate could smell something coming from the kitchen “Mmmmmmm, that smells yummy” said Kate. She walked into the kitchen and saw the extra special birthday cake, she just had to have a bite! One bite turned into two and then she realised she had eaten half of the cake!

Bertie walked into the kitchen and saw Kate the kitten with lots of chocolate cake round her mouth “That cake wasn’t for you!” said Bertie “It was for Toby the tortoises birthday!” Kate ran away feeling very guilty!

Bertie went to bed early that night and was very upset as he still didn’t have anything to give to Toby.

In the morning Bertie went down to the kitchen to have his breakfast and on the kitchen table was a huge cake! Even better than the one he had made! Kate must have brought another cake round while Bertie was asleep. “Toby will love this cake! Thanks Kate!”
