Literacy
Today we are going to begin to write our own story about two animals that meet and go on an adventure together. You could follow the plot line of The Snail and the Whale or you could create your own journey.
For today’s task you will need to think about:
Where is the story set?
Who are the main characters in the story?
How do they meet?
Why are they going on an adventure together?
Where are they going?
What problem will they face?
How will they resolve the problem?
How will the story end?
It may be useful for year 1 children to include descriptive words in their planning in preparation for writing tomorrow. You may want to use a thesaurus to introduce some new words into your writing!
Reception children, you could draw pictures of your setting, characters etc to use as prompts tomorrow.
