Description

In this unit, pupils explore traditional tales, sharing their preferences and focusing on 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'. They orally retell a story using sequencing language. They also compose sentences including adjectives to describe the characters in the story. Finally, pupils write the story.

This unit builds on pupils' learning about sentence composition from 'A Superhero Like You'. Pupils apply their knowledge of nouns and adjectives to write character descriptions, embedding noun phrases.They then transition to narrative writing, where they practise using their own adjectives within pre-constructed sentences for support. This unit prepares pupils for the next unit, 'The Magic Porridge Pot', where they will expand their sentences by incorporating verbs and selecting appropriate adjectives and verbs independently.
