Talk For Writing

 

This term our Talk For Writing text is ... PETER AND THE WOLF. It is a children's story and composition written by Sergei Prokofiev in 1936. We are currently loving imitating this story and learning it orally. We created our story map to help us remember the text and are focusing on key connectives like but, unfortunately, at that moment, luckily, who, first, next and finally. Alongside our story map we have learnt the actions for the story and use these actions to re-tell it everyday. This coming week we will be using our puppet theatre to act out the story. Once we have gained an understanding of the language of the text we will be focusing on descriptive writing for both characters and setting. 

In our class you will also find a Magpie Wall. On this wall you will see many words which we have "borrowed" from the text to remind us of the great ideas that other writers have used. When the time comes we can then use them in our own writing.
