Welcome to Week 4 Meeting Tale Notes
Today’s lesson was focused on adjectives and writing sentences using description.
Specifically, the students today:
– shared their own story opening
– orally reviewed the model story
– discussed what a noun was & created a list of nouns
– discussed what an adjective was and looked at different words that are adjectives
– with a visual prompt, used adjectives to describe a granny and a wolf
– wrote their own sentences using three adjectives to describe their visitor
– added different sentence openers to our class toolbox
Class Meeting Tale
Opening:
Once there was a granny who was having a cup of tea. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Granny said, “who can that be?”
Build Up:
Granny opened the door, and there was a mischievous, grey, furry wolf. The wolf said, “Hello, but I need ingredients to make a cake. Do you think I could have some eggs, flour, milk and sugar?” Granny said, “Yes, come in.” So the wolf came in.
Note: As we write this tale, we will keep the tale simple to work on the key features. The independent writing can be a tedious and lengthy process at the foundational level. This is always dependent on the individual child’s ability. We will aim to keep the children on track and moving along. If you wish to extend and have the time, please do so.
This could be as simple as adding to the bits we didn’t quite get to in class.
Home Tasks
