Inspired by Oliver Twist, which we have started reading in school, can you write 100 words?
Perhaps you could explain what Oliver asked for and why? Or describe what it was like in the workhouse for him?
I can’t wait to read them!

Victoria lived in a workhouse where people are dying as the governors never give enough food. Victoria had enough so she pretended to be dead. She stole the governors’ clothes and the next day she knocked on the workhouse door and asked if there are any MORE governor jobs left. They politely said yes. Two years later, as a governor, she asked “shouldn’t we give them a bit MORE food”. The governors said “I’ll see…”. Victoria replied “but if you lose MORE who will do your work”. Now she is the head and they never need to ask for MORE!
A great alternative story, Lila!

In Oliver twist Oliver asks for more! So whoever picks the longest string with a knot has to ask for more gruel. his feet feel cold on the stone floor. and says please sir I want some more. Mr bumble SAYS MORE! Oliver is trembling and feels numb. Oliver thinks he might be punished.mr bumble walked around pulling Oliver’s ear and showing the other orphans. All the others laugh at him like it is hilarious. Then Mr bumble shows the rest of the governors Oliver and tells them what he has done. Mr bumble is always very mean too Oliver.
You’ve really showed poor Oliver’s feelings here, Skye – great work!

MORE, MORE, MORE
Once there was a boy having dinner and he had cold, gooey, grey gruel.
The boys were picking out straw and the one with the knot had to go and ask for more.
Oliver had the one with the knot, so he went down slowly with his feet trembling and he held his bowl out and said “please can I have some more?”.
“MORE, MORE, MORE?” shouted Mr Bumble, louder and louder.
So he put Oliver in the dungeon in the workhouse. He was doing really hard work like scrubbing clothes, cooking the food for 100 boys.
I love the alliteration you’ve used to describe the gruel, Lorraine!

MORE?!
In the workhouse (for Oliver Twist) they did hard work all day long and slept in not nice places.The work was like pushing a self mill, quickly putting wheat into a sack and quietly picking wheat off the floor.Once, in dinner they pull wheat and who ever got the knotted rope had to go up and say”please sir I want some more”it fell to Oliver. He went up his feet trembling like a slippery snake. He went up and said”please sir I want some more””MORE?!MORE!?”the master shouted even louder.”you’re out!
Great response, Jake. I love the simile and adverbs you used!

Boy we give you all the stuff that you want and you ask for more? I’m shocked. Mr Bumble couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Boy you can’t say that in this workhouse again. There was silence in the room and then Mr Bumble took Oliver to the governor’s office. After Oliver got taken away he felt happy because he was away from that awful place! All you boys want more? You absolutely can’t have more! If anyone ever took you they would be ashamed because all you do is start trouble. I’ve never heard such a thing! I wish I had a home so I would be away from this horrible place thought Oliver.
Great work, Milo! That horrible Mr Bumble…let’s hope Oliver finds somewhere nicer to be…
