Shaun The Sheep - The Boat

In Room 5 this week, we spent some time watching video clips with no talking and realised all the literacy skills we actually use when watching these types of programmes.  We then watched them bit by bit and put together this collaborative story.  Working in pairs we wrote the story to go with the video clip.  Mrs Singh has taken something from everyone's story to create this!

 

 

The farmer pulled up to the gate and beeped his horn.  Bitzer the dog opened the gate and he drove into the paddock towing a boat behind him.  Bitzer and the sheep were surprised so went to have a closer look.  The farmer opened the round window and all this green gunk came out and covered his face.  He quickly closed it and wiped his eyes.  When he opened it again, he expected more green gunk to come out but it didn’t.  Instead a fish flew out and hit him in the face.  The farmer threw it away and the sheep laughed.  Bitzer was given a mop and bucket of water.  “Clean the boat”, said the farmer and off he went inside. While Bitzer started to mop the boat, Shaun the sheep came along and pulled the chain to the foghorn.  It was very loud!  As he pulled it again the chain broke so Bitzer stuck the baby lamb in the foghorn to stop the noise.  He then went to see who had pulled the chain and took the broken chain off Shaun.  “You can clean up while I fix the blowhorn”, he told Shaun.  Shaun began scrubbing the boat and slipped, knocking Bitzer head first into a bucket.  The sheep laughed because the bucket was stuck on his head.  They decided to hop on the boat while he couldn’t see and start playing with everything.  One sheep blew up his life jacket and knocked another sheep off.  Meanwhile the farmer was getting dressed up in his captain clothes inside.  He had no idea what was going on.  The sheep then pulled the sail up and the wind started to move the boat around the paddock.  Bitzer tried to steer it but they went rolling over the yard and crashed into the washing line.  When they came bouncing back they sheep all had pirate hats on their heads made from the washing and Bitzer had a pair of undies over his.  The farmer was inside busy reading a newspaper article and still didn’t know what was happening.  Finally someone threw the anchor out and they stopped just outside the pig pen.  The pigs jumped onto the boat dressed like pirates too and they started to fight with the sheep.  Everyone had wooden swords.  They all had to walk the plank.  The pig pushed the sheep off and he was flung up into the sky.  He came back down and landed hard saying, “Ow!”.  Bitzer tried to push the boat back to where it was but it was too heavy.  Shaun decided to help him.  Another sheep lifted the anchor and gave it to Bitzer.  At the same time the wind blew the sails again and Bitzer was pulled around the paddock like a water skier.  The boat headed straight for the pool.  The farmer came out just as Bitzer smacked into the tractor.  The anchor went flying through the air and landed in the boat, making a big hole.  It started to sink.  To make them feel better, the farmer and Bitzer went inside to warm up and watch some TV.  When they turned it on, the movie Titanic was on and the ship hit an ice berg and sunk.
