My Grubby Gertrude challenge – Rebekah Year 5
“Ugh my Gertrude is so grubby. Her room is a complete and absolute horror!”, mum unhappily exclaimed to Pretty Penny, her next door neighbour.
“Oh what a pain that must be my Polly would never leave her room in such a state she likes to keep neat and tidy!”, Penny proudly beamed back at her neighbour.
“It’s so rather unfair that you are pretty and perfect, just like me, and yet your daughter is the exact same as you, but my child oh no that horror is nothing like me at all! Her room is waist high full of rubbish and if you open the door one crack that rancid whiff hits your nose like bull horns smack bang on your head. She is so rather horrid that girl of mine I have no idea how she lives in there and I don’t even want to know what she does in that dirty dump!”, Mum ashamedly proclaimed.
“Oh how horrid that must be, so annoying! If I were you I would just get my vacuum cleaner and suck it right up all of it VUSH, gone all of your problems solved and then you get the girl and give her 50 good baths wash all her clothes 20 times and don’t let her near rubbish ever again!”, Penny happily proclaimed to unimpressed Mum.
“Oh you will never guess what happened today Penny. I got my vacuum and opened the door [and of course nearly fainted] and then I turned on the vacuum and you don’t know how happy I was with myself when five minutes later the trash pile was down to my knee! But then, the vacuum suddenly droned and before I could get out, BANG my precious exploded! At first I thought it was some monster, but of course it wasn’t I think all the rubbish must have overwhelmed it, but the worst thing is I got drenched in rancid rubbish! I took 30 baths until I was sure everything had gone and when it was I decided to give up on trying to rid my horrid child of her rubbish and socks, as I could tell It was never going to work!”, Mum sighed unhappily.
“Well how unfortunate that must be for you, I would be horrified if it was me. I would try and slowly clean it down without her noticing I know that when Polly has something in her room that she wants and I don’t, I sneak it out of her room and confiscate it and she doesn’t even notice!”, Penny proudly announced.
“Well that’s a marvellous idea I’ll try that later and… Oh dear I can hear Gertrude screaming her horrid phrase “bog off!” that can’t be good. Well I’ve got to go see what that is bye Penny!”, Mum quickly said and immediately ran to the house before Penny could say anything else...

"We've got this!" - A rainbow of hope
"We've got this!" a wonderful piece of art created by the children in school today. Full of resilience and confidence - two of our Keys for Success.
The EYFS/KS1 group made a huge collaborative rainbow at school this week to give residents of our community hope and something to search for when they go for a walk.
Homeschooling - how did day one go for you?
As we get to the end of day one, we hope you had a good day and have enjoyed spending time together.
From time to time we’ll share some of our ideas of things that might work for your children.
