Year 2 Comprehension tasks

Willy Wonka!Mr Wonka himself had suddenly become even more excited than usual, and anyone could see that this was the room he loved best of all. He lifted the lid from a huge pot and took a sniff; then he rushed over and

dipped a finger into a barrel of sticky yellow stuff and had a taste; then he skipped across to one of the machines and turned half a dozen knobs this way and that; then he peered anxiously through the glass door of a gigantic oven, rubbing his hands and cackling with delight at what he saw inside.

Extension All about him black metal pots were boiling and bubbling on huge stoves, and kettles were hissing and pans were sizzling, and strange iron machines were clanking and spluttering, and there were pipes running all over the ceiling and walls, and the whole place was filled with smoke and steam and delicious rich smells.

Draw a picture of the room using the description above.

Year 2 Comprehension tasksThe Purple Muncher

Josh and Ella were playing in the garden. “Don’t go far.” said Josh’s uncle . “It will be time for lunch soon.”

Josh didn’t feel like eating lunch. “What’s wrong?” Ella asked. “My uncle’s lamb curry is horrible!” Josh said.

Just then there was a sound. A little spaceship was in the garden. A purple thing with tentacles shuffled out of a spaceship. “Who are you?” asked Ella. “The Purple Muncher,” said the thing.

With one tentacle it grabbled an apple from the tree. “Food!” it cried. It gobbled the apple in under a second. “I need food!” Cried The Purple Muncher. Its tummy gurgled. Josh unwrapped a bit of bubble gum. The Purple Muncher grabbled the bubble gum and began to chew. It dribbled on its chin. Then it gulped. “You don’t EAT bubble gum!” said Ella. The Purple Muncher’s tummy rumbled.

“I need food!” it cried. “I can’t get food for you,” said Josh. The Purple Muncher grabbed Mum’s bicycle and began to

eat! “That’s impossible!” cried Ella. But Ella was wrong. The Purple Muncher ate every little bit and finished with a burp. It gnashed its teeth. “I NEED FOOD!”

It started eating the apple tree. “Don’t!” cried Josh. But the Purple Muncher went on eating. “This is terrible!” Said Ella.

“Is it going to eat the house next? Then the town? Then the Earth? What can we do?

“I know!” said Josh. He ran in to the house. Five seconds later he was back with a bowl. “Try this,” he said. The Purple Muncher reached out a tentacle and took the bowl. It has a nibble, then shouted, “YUCK!

HORRIBLE!”

It climbed back to the spaceship and zoomed off. “See?” said Josh with a smile. “I told you my uncle’s lamb curry is terrible!”
