What excitment is happening with our |IDL context and story writing. The last few weeks have seen P3/2 look at a selection of traditional tales. The focus has been;

LIT 1.26a & 1.07a

We are learning to recognise the elements used to create traditional fairy tales

• I can sequence events from a traditional fairy tale – Little Red Riding Hood.
• I can identify the beginning, middle and end.
• I can listen to and respond to questions.

First we looked at a selection of story maps and identified what we felt made them successful

Success Criteria; (a Sory map should have)

• A sequence – beginning, middle and end
• Characters – major and minor
• Pictures or illustrations
• Writing that supports the pictures to tell a story
• Directions – as we don’t want to get lost! – a path or foot prints
• May have speech and/or thought bubbles

Next we created a class ‘story map’ using the story of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ as a stimulus. All the children were invovled in creating our master piece…please see below

Next Steps:

We will make our own story maps of the story ‘The Three Little Pigs’
