This week we have started thinking about writing our very own story!
To help us, we are using a story we already know really well — We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen. We were so impressed with how brilliantly everyone remembered the story from Reception. The actions, the repeated phrases, the order of events — amazing!
First, we worked together to practise our sequencing skills, making sure we could put the story in the correct order. Then we really challenged ourselves with a reading comprehension to test our understanding. We had to think carefully and look back at the text to help us.
Finally, we zoomed in on some of the powerful vocabulary in the story — words that might help make our own writing exciting and descriptive.
Now we are getting ready to plan our own hunt story… but this time it will be set in Doncaster, using all the landmarks we have been learning about!
The big question is… I wonder what animal might be in our hunt? 🐾👀
