Jessica Pride Goes to School
by Richard Stratton & Alexander Pankhurst
It was a sunny morning at Safari Primary School and all the children were busy learning.
“Good morning class.”
“Good morning, Miss. Russell!”, said the children.
“I would like to introduce your new classmate. Her name is Jessica Pride. Say hello, class.”
— Would you like to say hello to Jessica? —
“Terry’, said Miss Russell, “How about you show Jessica round?”
Terry was excited about showing Jessica the classroom and all the activities. They started with finger painting.
“Ooo, your hand looks different to mine.”, said Terry.
— What does your hand look like? —
Next they went to play in the Home corner.
“What should we cook for dinner?” Asked Terry.
“I like antelope.” Said Jessica.
“Oh, that’s different.”, said Terry, “I like chips.”
— What’s your favourite food? —
Next Terry showed her the wet play area.
Jessica didn’t like getting wet, but Terry really liked splashing in the water.
— Do you like playing in the water? —
Finally, the whole class sat on the carpet to sing a song.
Jessica’s voice was very loud. Much louder than Terry’s
— How loud can you sing? —
Terry realised that something was different with Jessica…She was a lion!
“But lions aren’t meant to come to school are they?” said Terry.
“Of course they can.” said Miss. Russell, “Everyone should get to go to school.”
So Jessica got to stay at school and she and Terry became best friends.
The end.
Ellie and Matt are back with an episode packed with jam*
