A n Unsolved Mystery I am in year five at North Boyden Primary School. My class is learning about bugs. My friend, Pete, thinks it is a really cool topic because we get to keep all these creepycrawly things in containers around our classroom. Some of the kids think they are DISGUSTING! One boy, called Ben, loves trying to kill bugs. He told everyone that he eats snails and worms in his garden and pulls legs off spiders. We always say 'Err, gross!' Yesterday something happened that no-one would have ever expected. I think our school should be on one of those TV shows about unsolved mysteries! Use the story to answer these questions. 1. Why do you think the giant bug was after Ben? We'd just come back in from lunch and were about to start a science lesson. Suddenly, the door was flung open and Ben burst into the room. He looked like a wild man! He was really pale and his eyes were nearly popping out! He was trying to catch his breath and talk at the same time. 'Giant........bugs........trying......to get me!' he stammered. Everyone was silent. Then we saw it, an enormous green claw reaching through the doorway... ©R.I.C.

How does the story unwind and end? Put yourself in the writer's place and imagine you are sitting in this classroom. Now finish the mysterious tale! (Keep writing on the back of this sheet.) R.I.C.
