Text for section A


Extract from A Magical Muddle
Part 1

It was Monday evening at Cobwebs School for young girls. Tabitha and her friends took their seats
as their teacher, Miss Brewer, walked into the classroom. She was the strictest teacher in the
school.
"Today is a very important day!" announced Miss Brewer.
5
"The head teacher will be coming to inspect the school, and we must all be on our best behaviour."
Tabitha was worried. She wanted to impress the head teacher. Tabitha needed a brilliant idea...
At playtime, she crept into the library and found a dusty spell book. Inside it, there was a brainbox
spell. 'This will make me really clever and that will impress the Head teacher!' she thought. She
found a wand, but before she could cast the spell, she heard some footsteps. Tabitha knew she
10
wasn't supposed to be inside at playtime, so she read the spell quickly and tried to remember.

Part 2
Then, Tabitha slammed the book shut and raced outside. When no one was looking, Tabitha
started to spin.
"Swirling, twirling, whirling too.

Make me smart with a dibbly doo!" And with that, there was a huge puff of smoke.
When Tabitha returned to class, Miss Brewer was angry. 15
"What will the head teacher say when she sees this?" she asked crossly.
“” Of all the days to have a cat in class!"
Tabitha explained what had happened. "I must have got the spell wrong," she said.
"Well, make sure you change yourself back into a student before our special visitor arrives,”
said Miss Brewer. But, Tabitha didn't know how! 20

Part 3
At lunchtime, Mimi offered to help Tabitha. "I know the brainbox spell, " she said.
"If I cast it on myself, I will become clever enough to change you back!" Mimi started to spin.
"Swirling, twirling, whirling too. Make me smart with a wibbly woo!" And with that, there was a
huge puff of smoke.
Miss Brewer looked angrier than ever as the two young students explained what had happened. 25

"I must have got the spell wrong,” said Mimi.


"Of all the days to have a cat and a zebra in class!" said Miss Brewer furiously. "Just make sure
you change yourselves back into students before our special visitor arrives.” But, Tabitha and
Mimi didn't know how!
When Miss Brewer left the room, Agnes offered to help them. 30
"I know the brainbox spell," she said. "If I cast it on myself, I will become clever
enough to change you back!"
Agnes started to spin. "Swirling, twirling, whirling too. Make me smart with a hibbly hoo!" And
with that, there was a huge puff of smoke. Agnes turned into a giraffe.
Miss Brewer's head looked like it was about to explode as the three young students explained
35
what had happened.
"I must have got the spell wrong," said Agnes.
Miss Brewer said, "Just make sure you change yourselves back into students before our special
visitor arrives”
Just at that moment, the door opened and in walked the head teacher, who looked very
shocked….
