In the last few weeks our class has been writing instructions for doing things. The instructions that we did this week and last week was called "Taking care of your pet dragon".
Here is my instructions for taking care of my pet dragon, Monkey.
How to care for your pet dragon.
Feeding your dragon:
Put a glass bowl onto a bar stool and put newspaper inside of it.
Get 1 teaspoon of sugar and pour it into the bowl.
Pour ½ a box of “Little Dragon Charms” into the bowl.
Collect Monkey.
Now ask Monkey if it wants water or fire for her drink.
If it wants fire, sit Monkey in a high chair to drink and if it wants water, go outside and sit her in a tree to drink.
If Monkey wants water, you will just have to bring her food up the tree for it.
Say the word “eat” and Monkey will eat her food.
Make sure that Monkey doesn't come down from her high chair or the tree otherwise she will lose her appetite.

Playing with your dragon: Fetch
Bring Monkey to the park and bring its favourite toy (which is her teddy bear) with you.
When you get to the park tell Monkey that when you throw the toy, she has to run and get it and bring it back to you. Make sure you ask Monkey to repeat what you said and if she wasn't listening tell Monkey again and Monkey will listen this time.
Throw the toy as many times as you can until Monkey gets tired.
Go back home.

Taking your dragon to the shops
Collect Monkey and put her in the car. Make sure that you bring a rope with you.
Put Monkey in a car seat with a seatbelt on.
Drive to whatever shop you need to go to.
When you get to the shops, unbuckle your seatbelt and get out of the car.
Open the door for Monkey and unbuckle Monkey’s seatbelt.
Take Monkey out of the car.
Tie a rope around Monkey’s neck and hold the other end of the rope.
Walk Monkey into the shops and hold the end of the rope the whole time you are shopping.
Once you have done your shopping, go to the car and do the same as step 2.
Drive home.
Do the same as steps 4, 5 and 6 when you are at home this time.

Training your dragon how to come to you
Collect Monkey and carry her outside.
Tell Monkey that when you say “Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Boo” she has to come to you. If your dragon wasn't listening, repeat what you said.
Run 3 metres across the ground so that you and Monkey are apart from each other.
Now say “Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Boo” to Monkey and Monkey should come to you. If Monkey doesn't come to you then you have to go back to Monkey and take his claw and say “Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Boo” and walk her three meters across the ground.
Repeat step 3.
Walk back into the house if you wish, or you can stay outside if you prefer.

Grooming your dragon:
Collect 1 sponge, 1 bottle of coke, a pair of scissors, a 1 metre long rope, one 28 inch long piece of wood, 1 hammer, 1 bucket of water and a tarpaulin and bring them outside on some grass.
Flatten your tarpaulin on the ground and put the bucket next to it.
Fill up the bucket halfway with water.
Pour the whole bottle of coke into the bucket that has the water in it.
Set up the sponge and scissors next to the bucket and on top of the tarpaulin.
Grab the hammer and hammer the 28 inch long piece of wood into the ground.
Tie the rope around the piece of wood in a tight knot (any knot will do).
Collect Monkey from wherever she is and bringher onto the tarpaulin.
Tie the rope around your dragon’s claw in a knot.
Soak the sponge in the bucket for ½ a minute.
Pull the sponge out of the bucket with your hand.
Massage the sponge on Monkey’s scales all over her body until Monkey is all soapy.
Hose Monkey down with a hose until all of the coke is off.
Untie the rope from you dragon's neck.
Tell Monkey to fly around the garden until you tell her to come down.
When Monkey comes down, tie the rope back on Monkey’s neck.
Cut Monkey’s claws by using the scissors.
Repeat step 14.

Putting your dragon to bed:
Lights out for my dragon is 7:00 in the weekdays and 7:30 in the weekends.
Collect Monkey from wherever she is and take her by the claw and walk her to her bedroom.
Lift Monkey onto her bed and cover her with her blankets.
Go into the kitchen to get a teaspoon of sugar and come back into Monkey’s room.
Give the teaspoon to Monkey and tell her to eat the teaspoon of sugar. It doesn't matter if Monkey eats the teaspoon as well.
Sing her favourite lullaby to her and give her teddy bear to her.
Make sure that you put her to bed at the right time every night because you certainly don’t want a cranky dragon! (She might go crazy other wise!)
|
Exercising your dragon:
Collect Monkey from wherever she is and tie a rope around her neck.
Walk to the park and untie the rope from Monkey’s neck.
Let Monkey fly around the park 6 or 7 times and make sure to tell her to come down when you want to leave.
Once she is down tie the rope back around Monkey’s neck.
Walk home and go inside or stay outside if you prefer.
