Rosemary came to school.
She was Ms Finikin’s mum’s doll. One of us asked whether that made her Ms Finikin’s sister.
We discussed whether a 70-year-old ‘Pedigree’ doll is freaky or not. Probably the blonde wig doesn’t help.

We listened to the story about how Ms Finikin’s mum got the doll and retold it.

Rosemary is pretty. The grandparents bought her for Ms Finikin’s mum. She liked it. She was beautiful. Once she made Milly scared. – Darshan

Ms Finikin’s mum had to eat all of her dinner to play with Rosemary for thirty minutes. Rosemary is a doll. When she didn’t eat, her dad got to play with Rosemary. Her dad acted happy. – Jack

Rosemary is a doll. Ms Finikin’s grandparents bought a doll called Rosemary. They named her. Ms Finikin’s mom had to eat her dinner to have her for 30 minutes. – Daniel S

Rosemary is a doll. Ms Finikin’s mum always guessed when she ate her dinner, she could play with Rosemary. – Sebastian

Ms Finikin’s grandparents decided to get Ms Finikin’s mum a doll because she didn’t eat her dinner very well and was very skinny. They had this ticking sheet and, if she ate her dinner every day for a week, she got to play with Rosemary. But, if she didn’t eat all of her dinner, Ms Finikin’s grandpa had to play with Rosemary, and she had to watch. When Ms Finikin’s mum passed away, Ms Finikin got Rosemary. That is my retell story of Rosemary.

Rosemary is a toy. Ms Finikin’s mam never ate her food so then they (her parents) bought her a doll. If she didn’t eat her dinner, she didn’t play with Rosemary. If she did eat her dinner, she played with Rosemary. – Alexey

70 years ago, Ms Finikin’s grandparents bought her mum a toy doll and Ms Finikin’s mum could play with the doll every Sunday night if she ate all her food for every night until Sunday night. She could play with the doll for 30 minutes. If she didn’t eat it, Grampa would play with the doll. – Kian

70 years ago, Ms Finikin’s mom didn’t eat a lot of her food. Ms Finikin’s grandpa or grandma thought if they buy a doll for her, if she ate all her food, she will be able to play with Rosemary for half an hour. If Ms FInikin’s mom didn’t eat it, she had to watch her father play with the doll for 30 minutes. – Tanu

Very funny, Peyton and Louis.
