On Tuesday we brainstormed words to describe the sounds a monster would make as it approached, what we would see and feel, what he would look like etc. We then used these words to write a descriptive passage. My class then had to draw a picture of the monster they described. It was our first attempt at this sort of thing, and I was so proud of my class's efforts.
Both Megan and I have been emphasising the 'wow' words used in the story like, stamped, squashed, jumped, chewed, clobbered etc, they are up in our classrooms for future reference. To reinforce these words we collected a whole bunch of anti-waste so that we could act out them out... needless to say our classes had so much fun!

| They wondered why all the 'stuff' was there! |
 |
| Miss Caddick reads the story so we can act it out. |
 |
| Some monsters hiding |
 |
| Monsters only come out when there is mess! |
 |
| Stomping and jumping. |
 |
| Oh no, more mess monsters are on the loose! |
 |
| clobbering and squashing |
 |
| tearing and chewing |
 |
| Waiting for their turn! |
 |
| squashing! |
 |
| tearing |
 |
Oi, stop!....no more more mess
monsters. I am going to keep my
room tidy so that they never return!

So when all the mess was made, we needed the mess monsters to disappear so as quick as a flash with 30 pairs of hands on deck, the mess was all cleaned up....No more mess monsters! (for now anyway!)
It was a real fun learning experience!
