Jill Murphy interview ("2016 marks the 30th anniversary of the classic children's picture book, Five Minutes Peace by Jill Murphy"), Woman's Hour, BBC Radio 4, 25 February 2016. Claire hurt her knee and tells everyone she meets on the way home a different story about her injury, including being attacked by the Big Bad Wolf, being abducted by aliens, and being chased by a ghost. Traffic Scotland said on Friday morning that snow was affecting many major trunk roads and urged people to drive with care. The service said that winds streaming from the north will leave a bitter chill, and despite the mercury rising above 0C for most parts of the country, few areas will actually feel that warm.
Claire has hurt her knee so she sets off home to tell her mum all about it. On the way she meets her friends and tells them how the fall happened. Was she dropped by a wolf, a slithering snake, an enormous dragon or a hairy gorilla?!
Book Description
'The last thing we want is for people to experience further disruption as temperatures rise this weekend, putting many homes at risk of burst pipes due to freeze-thaw. Residents were warned of 'icy surfaces causing difficult travel conditions in a few places' in this area.

In recent days there has been chaos on the roads of London and the South East as heavy snow fall and treacherous ice blocked roads and caused cancellations to trains and flights. Meteorologists said 'brisk' winds in the coming days will also make freezing temperatures feel up to 5C colder than they actually are. But even a break in the blistering cold next week brings little comfort, with meteorologists warning of heavy downpours and potential flooding by Monday.

Forecasters say temperatures will rise on Sunday, bringing strong winds leading to snow, blizzards and ice and freezing rain, creating hazardous conditions on the roads. She continued to write it during a year living in a village in Togo, West Africa, and later while working as a nanny back in the UK. Murphy said she was "thrilled to find the publishers were quirky like me". "They accepted it immediately, and printed 5,000 copies, and I remember wondering how many aunts and uncles I had, and what we would do with the rest," she said in an interview with The Telegraph. However, the book proved an instant success with both critics and readers, selling out within two months of publication in 1974. Murphy continued working as a nanny until Allison & Busby's publication in 1980 of The Worst Witch Strikes Again prompted her to devote herself to writing full-time.
This story was a favourite with the children in my reception class when I first started teaching. It’s a great book to use with pre readers for telling a story and the repetitive text also helps the beginner reader. We made our own ‘On the Way Home’ class book, initial discussions stimulated the children’s imaginations and then each child drew a picture with their own idea about how Claire hurt her knee. Another great activity is to take children on a walk from the park to the school then recreate the walk by drawing a map. We used bricks and lego to make our own 3D class map of Claire’s walk home from the park which stimulated discussion about canals and graveyards as well as other landmarks that we might see on a walk.

By Monday, temperatures in Cardiff are expected to rise to 15C, while London could see highs of 14C and Edinburgh 11C. Manchester could reach 13C and 12C in Belfast. An amber snow warning is in place for Strathclyde, Central, Tayside and Fife, and West Lothian, and residents in these areas have been urged to remain on high alert. Heavy snow falling through parts of Britain has sparked travel chaos with flights grounded and roads closed - amid warnings the big chill is far from over. Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks Distribution said that as of 1pm on Friday, around 1,600 properties remained without power in parts of Voe, Brae and West Mainland in Shetland. Many schools around the country were shut due to the weather, including some in Aberdeenshire, the Highlands and Perth and Kinross.
Roger Michell (div.)Children1Jill Murphy (5 July 1949 – 18 August 2021) was a British author and illustrator of children's books. First published in 1974 at the age of 24, she was best known for the Worst Witch novels and Large Family picture books, with sales amounting to several millions. She has been called "one of the most engaging writers and illustrators for children in the land". She is perhaps best known for her classic Worst Witch stories which she started writing when she was fifteen but she is also a hugely successful picture book author and illustrator. But with the warmer weather will come rain, replacing the snow and ice but with potentially sparking flooding in some parts of Britain.

Blizzards, strong gales and a forecast deluge could spell widespread chaos across the UK, and motorists have been warned to take extra precautions on the road to account for the snow and ice.

The UK is set to be battered by freezing temperatures and blizzards across the country this weekend as temperatures plunge to as low as -13.5C.

First published in 1986, Five Minutes Peace has sold more than five million copies worldwide and has been translated into 19 languages. For the second book, All in One Piece , she was a commended runner-up for the Greenaway Medal from the British Library Association, recognising the year's best children's book by a British subject . The Large Family is now a television series on CBeebies and ABC Kids. In 1996, The Last Noo-Noo was adapted as a play and performed at the Polka Theatre, London. What a pleasure it has been to find a book I recall being a favourite when I was three or four years old and able to read the same story to my own little boy.
For later in the week, Miss Caughey said the weather is due to remain unsettled and sleet and snow showers could return on northern hills - but it is too early to predict whether there will be a white Christmas. In Shetland, engineers have been working to reconnect thousands of homes which lost power on Monday afternoon as heavy snow brought down lines. I like the layout of the double page spreads as they make it easy to follow the story . The pages are identically laid out with a mix of square boxes for Claire’s conversations with her friends and cloud shaped boxes show the reader what happened to her. The text is easy to read and the pictures are bold and colourful. The landscape of Claire’s walk changes to include a canal and a graveyard as well as streets of houses and garages which has stimulated discussions with my daughter about what we see on our way to kindergarten.

Forecasters say temperatures could temporarily rise on Sunday but this will bring strong winds leading to snow, blizzards and ice and freezing rain, creating hazardous conditions on the roads.
My mother cried when I showed her I had found the book and took great delight in reading it to my son also. I love the way the story encourages a vivid imagination and the repetition is brilliant for introducing reading to young children. Weather warning for snow and ice has also been put in place from 3am to 9pm on Sunday across Scotland, the north of England and West Midlands. A level three cold weather alert has also been issued by the UK Health Security Agency for all of England until midnight on Sunday, as regions across the country could be hit by snow, ice and snow storms.
