Rannoch Clan Writing
Writing – The Naughty Troll
Rannoch clan were shocked this week to find that one of their learning spaces was extremely messy and Mrs Scobie showed them a picture of the school playground with lots of litter lying around in it. Mrs Scobie suggested that it might have been a cheeky troll that was up to mischief and caused the mess. We decided that we needed to catch the troll so that this didn’t happen again. In groups, we used different materials to create troll traps. Once we made our trolls traps we decided to use this for the subject of our shared story writing. Our whole clan worked together to plan and write a story about ‘The Naughty Troll’. We made sure that we followed the correct structure of a story which we had learnt about earlier in the week. We also edited our story as we went along, changing words to make our story more interesting. We wrote a fantastic story together. We have shared it here to let you enjoy it too.
What has happened in Tay Clan?
This week, we have been learning how to structure a narrative text in writing. We have learned that a narrative text should have: a title, an orientation, a complication and a resolution.
Across this week, we have engaged in different activities to help us learn the structure of a story. We played a jigsaw game, where we all got a different part of the text. We had to match up and make a complete story. Miss Redmond was proud of how quickly Tay clan managed this! We have been applying this into our reading where we have had to describe and predict the plot of our reading book.
Today, Tay clan arrived into the classroom to find all the laptops on the tables with the words: Game Over. Tay received an email from Mrs Blair to let them know she had found the laptops like this when she arrived at school and found Miss Christie’s car in the car park. As a clan, we decided to plan and write our own narrative story about what had happened here at Calderwood. We created a box-up plan describing the setting, characters and language features we would include in our story.
As we were writing our story, we did a checklist to make sure that the 4 main parts of the structure were included. Tay clan will now be able to use this story example to help them plan and write their own narrative texts next week.
The investigation of this event today still continues. Why did the laptops say game over? We have added the orientation of our story for you to read:
It was a dark and gloomy morning in Calderwood. Miss Christie had forgotten her pass and was locked in Calderwood Primary School. She tried to call for help but there was no signal. It was 3 o’clock in the morning and the lights were flickering on and off, and no one was in sight.
Miss Christie tip-toed nervously up to Tay clan and got out her laptop. She went on to Teams to try and call the other champions in the school. However, no one answered.
