It's my favourite part of the day. I get to sit back, relax and listen to the calming tones of Ms Duncan reading me some Gangsta Granny. As a little treat on the day before world book day, I'm going to post two videos for you to simply listen to and enjoy.

No writing is necessary, I just want you to enjoy the story and imagine the world David Walliams has created coming to life.

Gangsta Granny

Here is Chapter 21 of the story. I hope you are enjoying it. Read along with Miss Duncan and then answer the questions underneath.

Questions

1. Can you find, and write down, the metaphor that describes the crowd as it flows into the town hall. (Page 188/189)

2. What do you think the word 'adorned' means? (Page 191)

3. Why did the final judge change the score she gave to Ben from one to zero? (Page 196) 

4. Ben danced really badly. So why did he win a trophy at the end of the competition? (Page 197)

5. Write down, in one sentence, what happens in this chapter. Remember- when you summarise a chapter you write down just the main events. You give an outline of what has happened.
