Tickly Octopus

This half-term we are focusing on a 

new author - Ruth Galloway!

Our first story is the 'Tickly Octopus' . . .  

This is set down in the ocean, among the swirling seaweed and the colourful coral. It is here that we meet a tickly octopus!

Eve - "I liked the tickling bit - when he tickled the fish and he tickled the crab and he didn't like it"

One day, when Octopus tickled Oyster, she jumped and dropped her precious pearl. Octopus was very sorry and set off to try and get it back for her.

When he eventually reached it, Octopus came face to face with a fierce eel!

Arlana - "I liked the bit where it was scary cause the octopus was  being chased"

William - "I liked the scary bit - his eyes are scary and sharp teeth" (the eel)

During the chase, Octopus sprayed a cloud of black ink so that the eel couldn't see!

Mila - "I liked the part when it was inky - the octopus squirted ink out of one of his tentacles so the eel couldn't see. He's got 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 tentacles and one is holding the pearl. The eel looks sad, and it was black in the dark"

We won't spoil the ending for you - read the story and see if Octopus is able to return the pearl safely back to Oyster!
