Please do not look at the video or start the task until after our Zoom on Monday 18th 9.30am

Look!

Wolf meets the Three Little Pigs again! I wonder what will happen...

Still image for this video

Your Task - Part One:

Watch the video above and discuss. It looks like the Wolf and the Pigs have made friends again. I wonder what they may do now they are friends? Maybe they will want to go for a picnic at the beach? They might possibly want to go on holiday! 

Your task is going to be writing a story about what they do next but first you must plan your idea.

Use the sheet below to draw pictures of what happens at the beginning, middle and end of your story. You may want to label your plan to remind of you of key information.

Please see Miss Campbells example below for some ideas.

Your teachers will explain this further in our Live Teaching Zoom on Monday 18th January

 

Your Task- Part Two:

Now you have made your plan it is time for you to start writing your story. We have set you the extra challenge of including some of your key story language that you have been learning such as 'Once upon a time', 'Unfortunately', 'Luckily' and 'Happily ever after'.

Have a watch of Miss Campbells video below to help you get started.

Don't forget when your writing to think about your handwriting, use finger spaces, capital letters at the start and a full stop at the end. See below for a finger space character to help you remember your finger spaces.

We know this is a lot of writing so we suggest you could spread this out over the week and write a part a day.

How to start your story

Below is Miss Campbells finished story for you to read and enjoy at home. I have added speech into my story but this is not something we expect the children to include in theirs.

Enjoy! We look forward to reading yours!

Weekly Diary Entry:

Every week we would like you to write a diary entry in the exercise book we gave you, about something you have done at home. For example this could be what you did for your daily exercise, something you made, a piece of work you were proud of or maybe a story you really enjoyed.

Your grown up can photograph your writing and put it on Tapestry so we can see what you are doing. We look forward to reading them each week.
