COMPREHENSION
CREATIVE WRITING
You are a mad scientist and you have managed to cross
two animals. Tell the whole world what the name of your
animal is, what it looks like, what it can do, and what it
likes eating...
If you have time draw a picture of it.
Example:
I crossed a monkey and a snake and the animal is called
a snakey! A snakey is an animal with a monkey's face and
ears, but it has got a snake's
tongue. The body also looks like a snake, with a long tail and no legs. Snakeys are very silly animals and
the like squeezing bananas with their bodies and eating them later...
