Mackerel on a Plate is by a part-Scottish, part-Irish painter called William Scott. He was very interested in arranging shapes together, and made simple pictures that look really bold. He liked to paint still-lifes – like food, flowers and everyday objects. He painted lots of pictures of fish and kitchen things lying on a bare table.
He said ‘I find beauty in plainness’, because he saw that normal things can be special, when you look at them closely. This painting will be at Tate St Ives until May 2013, so you can go and see it for yourself!
Why do you think the kitchen is so dark? Who do you think caught this fish? Who will eat it? Will anyone get the chance to eat it, or will a cat pinch it?

There once was a fish, who lived with his mother, father and sister. His parents told him and his sister many a time never to swim away on his own. But he was a curious fish, and soon, once he knew that no-one was watching, he swam away into the darkness….
At that precise moment, a fisherman, by the name of Jim Peters, was letting down his net. Soon he could see that lots of fish had been caught, so he hauled it in. One of the fish, as you might have guessed, was our little fish that swam away.
Then, because it was nearly six o’ clock, Jim started sailing his fishing boat back to shore. Afterwards he took his load and sold it to the fishmonger, who was delighted at the amount of fish there was. Jim them went home, after a long day’s work.
The next morning, Mrs Gloria Walker was out on her daily shopping when she heard that last night, the fishmonger had bought a big load of good-quality fish from one of the fishermen. Gloria thought about the things sHe was he would need fish for – hers and Mr. Walker’s dinner, the cat’s breakfast, the… oh well, she would just buy the fish and afterwards she would use it wherever she needed it. So she strode up the street until she came to the fishmonger’s shop. It had a new sign – P.A. Newman Fishmongers QUALITY FISH – in navy writing. As she went in, our friend the fish trembled with fear. He had been already cooked in a huge oven – torture!
Gloria decided to buy him and another half dozen fish. She then left and ambled on home with her package of fish and other goods.
At 69 Wood Lane she decided to give herself and her husband a dinner of our little friend! Oh well. I suppose it serves him right for not listening to and disobeying his parents.

The long morning had been well, long. It had been especially like this for James Nipper: one of the many fishermen of Heghmorough, in the eastern part of England. Old James, that day, had only caught two small, wiry mackerels.
He gave the tiniest one to the cat and placed the other one on the table. Mr. Nipper washed and went to sleep. He hadn’t remembered about the cat!
Bonnyhood( the cat) saw his opportunity and leaped up on the table, slurping the mackerel down in a single gulp!!
James Nipper thought he heard something and woke up with a shout. The fisherman predicted it was the cat and quickly went downstairs. What he so didn’t surprise him.

Once, Deep down in the big blue sea, there was a yellow fish named Gillian. All the sea creatures laughed at him, Because Gillian had no friends. He was swimming sadly past his Sea shell house and sat near some colourful rocks “I wish i had a friend, Everyone laughs at me!” as he was feeling Depressed, a Starfish and a jellyfish happened to swim by, then the starfish plopped down on a green rock beside Gillian “Hey there! You feeling down? Got the Bubbles?” (The Bubbles were feeling sad) “Yes, all the creatures in my class laugh at me, I have no friends!” the jellyfish replied “We can be your friends, Im Roy and the starfish’s name is Lewis” Gillian was getting happier, he made some friends! At last, he can prove to the others he has a friend, No, 2 friends! Next day, Gillian arrived to school, in class where Connor Catfish, Tina turtle and Olivia Octopus were in a group “Look! Its little Gillian, the fish with no friends!” Olivia chuckled with the whole class ‘Wrong! i have 2 friends!” Gillian laughed as Roy and Lewis popped up behind him “Gillian! A Jellyfish and a Starfish!” the whole class croweded round Gillian and all were friends! The End
