Have you ever held a grudge against the brush that pulled your hair or the vacuum that sucked up your shoelaces? How did you feel when a pen leaked ink on your favourite shirt or the toaster burned yet another bagel?
Watch the video and think about a time when an object caused you a bit of distress, and write a letter to this object to express your disappointment.
For example:
Dear Pen,
I am so disappointed with you.
Today was school photograph day. I spent all morning fixing my hair and ironing my clothes. I scrubbed my face hard and even cleaned under my nails.
So, can you imagine my shock when I queued up to have my photograph taken and looked down at my shirt pocket? There it was. A big black smudge of ink in the middle of my shirt. How could you do this to me? You knew I needed to look my best! Now you've ruined the photograph that is going to sit on my mum's mantelpiece forever! My family and friends will be laughing at me for the rest of my life.
I hope you're happy with yourself.
Yours sincerely,
Tom

This made me laugh and I remember when this happened! Super!
Deleteby accident I bit my tongue , I also fell of my bed when I was asleep and I banged my head on the radiator , When I was little I identically shaved my eyebrow , My uncle took my tooth out with string and pulled it out.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a few bad things have happened to you. Next time, try to follow the example of the homework please.
DeleteMy felt tips ran out of ink , My brother bumped my tooth and some of it came out , I cut my finger , I went on holiday and I broke a plate , I talked crazy when I was little

A really nicely presented idea, Tommy and well done for posting on the blog!
DeleteDear Toothpaste,
DeleteI am extremely furious on you. You always were the best toothpaste. But yesterday you were the worst in the world. On that day I was running late so I dashed into the bathroom. I opened you, you blast out and you were all over on me, floor, walls, sink and in the tub. My mum came and cleaned the horibble mess. She reduced my Ipad playtime as she was cross on me. I hope you are happy.
Sincerely,
Ram.
Thank you

DeleteDear Milk,
ReplyDeleteI really don't know why I should always drink you.I drink you in the morning before I go to school.I drink you in the evening before I go to bed.I really dont understand why i should always drink you.My mother keeps on telling me,"Kristen,please finish your milk!It will help you to grow faster and more stronger."But everyday and every morning and everynight,I think it's too much.Can I skip drinking you once in a while.
Respectfully yours,
Kristen
This made me laugh, well done!
DeleteDear Coat,
ReplyDeleteI am very disappointed about you. You don’t let me put my zip up and you’re my favourite coat. I feel very cold in this coat especially in the winter because the zip always gets stuck and I am cold as ice you don’t let me to get warm in my coat. My mother planned to bin you because the zip is broken and we couldn’t fix it. But I told her you could never throw this coat away no matter what! It is and will always be my favourite coat.
Your owner
Haaris
I have had this happen to me before. Super effort!
DeleteDear VICKS (VapoRub)
ReplyDeleteI am so annoyed with you.
Today I applied you all over my hair, thinking you were hair styling gel. My Mother was outraged when I went downstairs, I thought I looked quite cool. She marched me upstairs to the bathroom and unsuccessfully tried to wash you off, with shampoo, several times. You were so stubborn and stuck to my hair like glue. In the end Mummy gave up and took me to the hairdressers. This is where it all went wrong. Mum asked the hairdresser to give me a blade one. This was all your fault, if only you washed off. You caused me great embarrassment. For days I had to explain to everyone why my hair was so short.
I hope you are pleased with yourself.

This was an extremely funny and well written letter, Arnav!
DeleteDear Recorder,
ReplyDeleteI came back home and practiced a nice and lovely tune that I wanted to play and show in front of Mr Farnell and my classmates. You were playing such a nice smooth and gentle tone that I really loved playing and practicing all evening.
I am so sorry that I dropped you one the floor while I was on my way to school and broke you. Now you are not playing a nice smooth and gentle tune the way you were last night. I will try and explain what has happened to Mr Farnell and borrow a new one, but I always liked you and enjoyed playing nice tunes on you.
I will take you to my dad this evening and I am sure he knows how to fix the recorder.
From Ithisha.
I hope you can fix it before next week! Well done!
DeleteDear microwave,

It was sports day and i wanted to have a healthy baked potato.I slipped it in you, i pressed the 4 minutes timer and waited and waited, with nothing happenning after a while i heard the beeping as soon as i opened it to see that the potato was'nt baked properly.I could'nt make another one as it was time already, i hope you are happy with yourself , you let me down...

Dear cup,
ReplyDeleteI am so angry with you because last night I needed some medicine because I was sick. But I needed it in a cup so that I could drink from you.As I drank from you, you broke right in front of me. All of the medicine got spilled on my pyjamas. So can you imagine my first very big shocked I got from you?
