Monday

LO - To draw your main character

Today I would like you to listen to the story of ‘The Little Green Dinosaur’ again and look through your story map.

Today we are going to be creating a new main character instead of the little green dinosaur.

What new character are you going to choose?

What colour are they going to be?

What size are they?

Please draw a picture of them on a piece of paper and write 1-2 descriptive sentences about your new character.

Tuesday

LO - To create a story map for your new story

First I would like you to look through the story map of ‘The Little Green Dinosaur’ and make sure you remember the story.

Read it through a second time but this time instead of saying the Little green dinosaur please say the name of your new character.

I would like you to have a chat with your adult and see if you can answer these questions.

You don’t need to write your answers down just talk through them.

If you can’t answer a question, please listen to the story again!

What happens at the beginning of the story?

What happens in the middle of the story?

What happens at the end of the story?

Can you name any of the characters in the story?

Today we are going to be creating a new story map with our new character. We are using the same template as last week.

Remember to change the Mum – she can’t be a big green dinosaur!!!

I can’t wait to see your new story map.

Wednesday

LO - To write the 1st part of your story

First I would like you to orally retell your story using yesterday's story map. 

Please tell it to your adult.

​​​​​​Today we are going to be writing the 1st part of the story (up to the part where your character meets the slow Brontosaurus).

Please use your sounds and remember to use capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. 

Thursday

LO - To write the final part of your story

Please read your writing from yesterday to your adult.

Did you forget anything? 

Do you need to edit some of your writing from yesterday?

Go through your story map from Tuesday and orally tell your adult the story so that you make sure you have all the information you need for today's lesson.

Today we are going to write the final part of our story - Remember that you are going to need to change your character's Mum to. She can't be a big green dinosaur!

Please use your sounds and remember to use capital letters, finger spaces and full stops.

Friday

LO - To perform your story to an audience

Read through your writing from Wednesday and Thursday and make sure that you don't need to edit anything. 

Ask your family to come to your performance and read them your very own story!

Please ask them to video you and send it to the glade email address so that we can watch them on Monday.
