    James enjoyed this story and liked yelling ‘1,2,3 – Pull!!!’ He liked Jack their son because he pulled and ripped his mummy’s skirt!

      I am glad James enjoyed the story, can he remember the order that the characters pulled the turnip?

    Harvey enjoyed listening to this story!He thought that the turnip got so big because they watered it too much!Harvey thought that the most important character in the story was the dad because he planted the seeds and he was the one holding onto the turnip while the rest of the family were holding on to him!

  4. Zachary says:

    Zachary thought that the turnip got so big because the man planted a big seed, watered it lots and it had lots of sun. He said that they were all the most important characters because they could only get the turnip out when they all helped each other.

    • Mrs Turner says:

      You thought carefully about what vegetables need to grow and how important team work is. Super challenge work Zachary!

  5. Isla G says:

    Isla thought the turnip had grown so big because it had been watered too much and also because it had been in the sun.

    She said that the characters in the book were equally important because they all worked together to pull out the turnip.

    Riley thought that the turnip was so big because the man looked after it and he thinks the most important person was the man because he grew the turnip

  7. Daniel says:

    Daniel thought the turnip must have been planted in a lovely sunny spot and had lots of water!
    He first thought that Boris the farmer was the most important person in the story then changed his mind to the mouse! A great team effort!

  9. Mili says:

    Mili liked listening to the story. Mili thinks that the turnip got so big because the old man put lots and lots of water on it. She thinks that the old man was the main character in the story.

    • Mrs Turner says:

      Good challenge work Mili 🙂 Plants do need lots of water, they also need something else so that they can make their own food. Can you find out what that is?

  10. Ben says:

    Ben enjoyed the story and told me the order of the characters well. He thought the turnip grew enormous because of the soil, rain and sun. He initially thought the old woman was most important because she cooked the turnip for them all, but then decided the old man was as he planted the seed in the first place.
