Year 1 Highlight

In Year One, we have been learning about narrative writing and what makes an entertaining story. To introduce the structure of narrative writing to students, we explored popular fairytale stories such as Jack and the Beanstalk, Goldielocks and the Three Bears and The Gingerbread Man. After reading each story we explore the characters, setting, problems and resolution within each story. Starting next week, students will learn how to brainstorm their own story ideas and turn them into engaging narratives. They will write an introduction using descriptive words to characterise the setting and characters within the story, a form of conflict and a resolution to their story. Each Friday students will publish their stories using Google Docs. This will give the Year Ones an opportunity to develop their ICT skills.
