The Diary of a Killer Cat - Literacy Lesson September 2006
Panther Class were studying the book 'The Diary of a Killer Cat' by Anne Fine.
The children then wrote their own idea of 'A Killer Cat's School Diary'

Group 1: Shannon Chidgey and Ashdon Edwards

"Hey watch it I am here you know", "I know you are doing the Wake and Shake, but you don't need to step on my tail!".
"Where do I sit? I need a desk you know!". Rachel, Tom, Becca and Louie "Oh no, how do I answer, MEEOWW! I guess that settles it."

Group 2: Charlotte Logan and Lily Quarton-Parsons

So shoot me! I'm at Animal school and I've been bad! Ate the year 1 little Miss Mousy Paws. She was rude. So, I shoved her in, my mouth and swallowed! I was hungry and I'm a cat! And I was told off for fighting with the year 6. So what - he's a Rottwhiler?! I should be praised!!
It's morning play and I haven't been in school yet…
SO SHOOT ME!

Group 3: Marianne Quarton-Parsons and Lydia Salter

For pity's sake I'm a cat and they send me to school. I scratched the little annoying kid and they ran away crying and screaming.
I didn't line up, so what! I ran around the class and found a bit of newspaper, but I had a BIG accident!..
Then play. It was awful! They kicked me everywhere. I am not a football!!
The best part was lunch: Fish, fish, fish-Dreamland.
Home. Yeah!! No more screaming - a relief.

Group 4: Sidney Arend and Mariah McGunnes

You don't have to stand on my tail. I am bright orange, you must be blind! For godsakes even if I was small you could just mind it.
Hey what are you doing with my delicious birds, they are supposed to be mine!

Group 5: Matthew Cavill, Jessica May, Iona Rogers and Daniel May

Please stop shoving, I'm always last in line!
If that girl doesn't stop pushing me I'm going to get my claws out.
Hey what's that in the hedge? I've got to find out.
Hmmm this is my territory. Hiss get out or you will become a fur ball!!

Group 6: April-Dawn Hobbs and Noah Gibbard

The stupid, fluffy haired, idiotic, fluorescent green snotty nosed teacher kept telling me off for nibbling their toes while waiting to go out to play.
When I got to the playground I was saying to the children "I am here, you can see me. I'm bright orange and I know it's a playground but you don't have to kick me halfway down the pitch when I'm playing football!!

Group 7: Mollie Salter and Kimberley Brooks

Maybe I should have put my bag on my peg instead of carrying it out on the playground. And you didn't have to swing me round by my tail!
"Line up children" the teacher said. How do I know where to line up?
You don't need to stand on my tail!

Group 8: Luke Dennett and Jake Norris

Maybe I should line up in the line with all the children. How am I meant to know?! It's only my first day!
She called my name out of the register, but how am I meant to answer?!
"Meow!"
