The Snail and the Whale

Inspired by the story 'The Snail and the Whale' by Julia Donaldson - the children wrote these stories;



The Snail and the Whale
Retold by Matthew

The snail was on the rock. The whale gave the snail a ride and then they saw towering icebergs. They saw fiery mountains, hidden caves and then they saw the hideous sharks with toothy grins. They saw the zig zag lightning and frightening thunder storms.

Then the whale was stuck in the sand and the snail went to the school. He lead a track and the track said, Save the Whale. The children called the firemen to save the whale and then all the villagers said… HOORAY!!





The Snail and the Whale
Retold by Chloe

The snail wanted a ride because he has an itchy foot. At night a whale came and they traveled far. The whale lost it’s way and the speed boats frightened the whale.

The whale went on the sand and the snail went to the school. He wrote a sign that said Save the Whale on the board. The school kids got the firemen and then the tide came in and the whale was in the water.

There was shimmering stars and terrifying lightning. They saw icebergs. Then the snail was at home and the whale was in the water.

Retold by Bryan

The snail sat on the rock. He got to the whale’s tail.

The whale and the snail saw the icebergs. They saw the fiery mountains. They saw the hideous sharks in the hidden caves and the stripy fish. They saw the zig zag lightning. They saw the shimmering shooting stars.

They got to the dock and all the snails go to the whale’s tail.



The Snail and the Whale
Retold by Levi

On a rock there was a snail. He had an itchy foot. He had written, Lift wanted around the world.

So a whale came and the snail went on the humpback whale’s tail. They saw fiery mountains and huge waves and towering icebergs.

But the whale landed on the sand so the snail got children. The children got the firemen.

So they saved the whale.



The Snail and the Whale
Retold by Heyden

The snail was on a black rock. He had an itchy foot. He wrote a note and then one night a humpback whale came. The whale said, “Come sailing with me.”

The snail hopped on. They ??? towering icebergs and shooting stars and zig zag lightning. Then the whale got stuck on the beach. The snail slithered to school.

The school called the fire engine and then the whale was free.

Retold by Ethan
The snail was on a big black rock. A humpback whale came at night. The whale said, “Come on my tail.”

They went to the fiery mountains. They saw some stripy fish. They saw some golden sands. The whale was stuck on the golden sands.

The teacher rung the bell and the children came back to the classroom. The children saw a snail. The snail wrote - Save the Whale. The children called the firemen. They went back to the golden sands. The firemen and the children dug a hole.

The whale was safe and the snail was on the big rock again. It was night again. It had shooting stars. The snail was home.

Retold by Tessa
The snail was on a rock and he wanted a ride. So he wrote a note. The note said- Lift wanted around the world. At night a humpback whale came to see the snail. The whale said, “Come on a trip with me.” So the snail did.

They went to the towering icebergs. They saw ice towers and a scary cave. There was a shark, scary and hideous, in the cave. They saw a volcano and zig zag lightning.

The whale got stranded on the island. The snail was on the tail of the humpback whale. The snail said, “I have an idea.” He went to the school at play time.

The snail wrote a note on the black board saying - Save the Whale.
          The snail saved the whale.


The Snail and the Whale
Retold by Saamit

A snail was on a rock and the snail had an itchy foot. The snail wrote a note and a whale came and he said, “Will you come with me?”

So the snail went on the whale’s tail and they saw towering icebergs and they saw sharks with hideous toothy grins. They saw fiery mountains and zig zag lightning.

The whale went on land and the whale couldn’t get off the land because the whale is too big. So the snail went to school and he wrote a note. The note said- Save the Whale.

The children got the firemen and the firemen sprayed water on the whale. The children dug a hole and the the whale came off the land. The whale came back to the black rock and all the other snails came on the whale’s tail.


The Snail and the Whale
Retold by Maahir

The snail wanted to travel, but the snail had an itchy foot. Before it was night the whale came and said, “Hop on my tail to travel with me.”

They traveled around the world and they saw towering mountains. They saw zig zag lightning and shining sand.

The whale got stuck. The snail slid to the school and the school called the firemen. The firemen dug a hole. The whale got into the water. He was happy again. The villagers said - HOORAY!



The Snail and the Whale
Retold by Rania

The snail was on a black rock. He had an itchy foot so he wrote a note that sai - Lift wanted around the world. At night a whale came. When the whale came there were shooting stars and they were shimmering. The whale said, “Come sail with me.” The snail went on the whale’s tail and he travelled with the sea breeze.

They went to a cave with sharks that had hideous grins and the sharks had very sharp teeth. Then they went to the icebergs and they were cold and they were shivering. So they went to the fiery mountain and the mountain was so hot. To the snail it was  very warm, a little bit hot.

Then the whale got stuck on a Sandy beach. So the snail thought and he had an idea. He went to a school and he made a trail on the board. It said - Save the whale. So the children went to get the firemen. The firemen sprayed water on the whale to make the whale cool and they saved the whale.
