English

This week the children are planning and writing their own Dragon story. We will be encouraging the children to...

- start the story with a great opener

- describe their dragon using adjectives and similes

- a problem (what the dragon is scared of and why)

- a resolution

- an ending which isn't - The End!

 

We will be creating a plan for our story and writing our story on Wednesday / Thursday.

If you have a pot of change at home you can roll a dice, count out that many 1ps, when you have 2, 5 or 10 you can exchange them. After a few turns the winner can be either the person with the fewest coins or the person with the greatest value of coins. There are also some interactive games they can play...
