Generating vocabulary to describe the setting of the story ‘Lucky Dip'

English

In this unit, pupils have learned how to use an apostrophe for contraction when writing sentences as part of a narrative. In 'Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole: Non-Chronological Report', pupils will build on this by using this skill in sentences written within a different text type. 

In 'Otherwise: Narrative Writing', pupils learned how write compound sentences using co-ordinating conjunctions. In this unit, pupils will build on this knowledge by writing complex sentences using a range of jining conjunctions.

In this unit, pupils write their own version of the short animation 'The Lucky Dip'. Pupils write using the narrative structure of opening, build-up, climax and resolution - a more sophisticated structure than beginning, middle, end. This unit can be used for KS1 writing teacher assessment purposes.
