Oh That's Good! No That's Bad!

This week we are focusing on writing for fun and entertainment.  Firstly we listened to the song "Oh That's Good, No That's Bad." by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.



After listening to the song we watched this clip, which is actually a book, That's good! That's bad. by Margery Cuyler.


As a class we came up with a shared piece of writing using the title and format for Oh, that's good. No, that's bad.

Oh that’s good. No that’s bad.

Once upon a time, in a deep dark wood, in a teeny tiny cottage with a straw roof, lived a big, fat man. His name was Claude.  Claude realised he was getting too fat so he went for a run.
Oh, that’s good.
No, that’s bad.
A big buffalo came and chased after him while he was running.
Oh, that’s bad.
No, that’s good.
He was running so fast that he was sweating like a pig. His sweat caused a big puddle which the buffalo slipped on.
Oh, that’s good.
No, that’s bad.
The sweat was magical sweat which made the buffalo able to fly and he began chasing him again. To make things worse Claude happened to be wearing a grass hat.
Oh, that’s bad.
No, that’s good.
Claude ran past a swamp and a crocodile crawled out of the muddy swamp.  This scared the buffalo and the buffalo flew the other way.
Oh, that’s good.
No, that’s bad.
The crocodile chased Claude up a big, round, apple tree.
Oh, that’s bad.
No, that’s good.
Claude started slowly picking the apples and throwing them towards the hungry crocodile to scare the crocodile away.
Oh, that’s good.
No, that’s bad.
The branch that Claude was sitting on began to crack and split.  It shook and then snapped and Claude fell to the ground in a big heap.
Oh, that’s bad.
No, that’s good.
Claude landed directly on top of the crocodile. SPLAT! The crocodile died instantly from Claude’s extreme weight.
Oh, that’s good.
No, that’s bad.
The crocodile was a pet of his neighbour George.  George was an angry man with a habit of screaming and yelling over the smallest incident.  Claude knew George would be irate over the death of his crocodile.
Oh, that’s bad.
No, that’s awful!
