Home Learning - (Friday 30th Jan)

Planning our stories.

Next week the children will be writing their own stories in the style of an ancient Greek myth. For their "home learning" this weekend, I have asked them to begin to start planning some ideas:
Who will their hero (or heroine!) be? What will be the reason for their quest/adventure? What monster or obstacles will they meet on the way? What magical help will they receive?

I have given the children a "planning form" to help them to draft out some ideas.
It would be great if the children could have a chance to chat over their thoughts.

I will be modelling the writing process by developing my own story in front of the children.

This is a project that will progress throughout the week.                                                 Many thanks,
