Andy Griffiths inspired Crazy Machine and Inventions.


Andy Griffiths inspired Crazy Machine and Inventions.


Over the last couple of weeks we have been using an awesome book to inspire us with our writing and get everyone enthusiastic about writing.  The book is called Once upon a SLIME – 45 fun ways to get writing…FAST! By Andy Griffiths.
We have been writing Bad Mummy and Daddy cartoons, writing crazy baking accident scenarios and matching character quotes to the different characters.

Today we read the chapter called Crazy Machines and Inventions. The book showed us heaps of examples of invention illustrations from Andy’s books (his illustrator is Terry Denton). Our mission was to design our own crazy inventions, either using his ideas or creating our own crazy ones. We had a massive range of ideas including, a superfast flying machine, a crazy helmet that puts ideas into your mind, a cloning machine that creates things out of thin air and DNA and a gun creator machine that lets you pick what is included.

Here are some of our crazy machines and inventions…
