The Sunflower that went Flop

We are learning to write narrative stories. Mrs. Blair read the story of The Sunflower that went Flop by Joy Cowley and we have written our own stories about it.

One sunny afternoon Mrs. Brown planted a straight big beautiful sunflower in her front garden so people could see the sunflower. People going past said “What a beautiful flower” and Mrs. Brown said “Thank you kind people” She said this proudly. And they looked again and it was very tall. The next morning the sunflower went flop in the front garden. The people said “What a shame.” And Mrs. Brown said “ Oh my sunflower!” She called to Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown said “What is it my love?” She said, “My sunflower went flop.” Mr. Brown got his fixing bag. He got his sticky tape and stuck it on the sunflower. Mrs. Brown said, “Thank you, you’re the fixing man in the world.” And he said, “Don’t tease, my love.” When it was nighttime it rained and the sunflower drank and drank. And it drank some more and much more. The next morning the sunflower grew very straight again.

One sunny morning Mrs. Brown was growing the sunflower. The flower was beautiful. The next day the flower went flop. Mrs. Brown asked Mr. Brown to fix it. He used a hammer and nails and a needle and string and sticky tape. Then the rain came down and then the flower was straight and still.
