We are learning how to write well structured stories that have all the essential features of a good story.

We looked at lots of picture books and identified  important features the authors had used to engage their audience. We found things like, rhyming, pictures that linked to the story, interesting vocabulary, a clear structure and sometimes a offered a message or a moral  to the reader. As we found then we added post it stickers to remind us where we found them.

We loved reading the stories, we discovered they offer valuable discussion points great opportunities to develop knowledge and imagination.  and

We also realised picture books are not always for young children!
