Narrative Week 1

As part of our Narrative unit, Year 1 have been retelling the story Funnybones written by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. We created actions to help us remember the main parts of the story (opening, build up, problem, resolution and ending) and recorded these on a story map.

Success Criteria

• Opening
• Build up
• Problem
• Resolution
• Ending
• Always Success Criteria

Here are a few examples of our story maps:

In Year 2 we have also been exploring narratives this week. Our focus text is Katie and the Dinosaurs by the author James Mayhew.  In line with our theme topic, the book focuses on a little girl’s interest and adventures with dinosaurs.

2F took their learning outside and retold the story of Katie and the Dinosaurs using Pie Corbett style story actions.

In keeping with our Dinosaur topic, we have created some wonderful writing in our theme lessons.

2S have been using their imagination to think of what life would be like if they were a Dinosaur for a day.
