Writing
Warm up
Our warm up focus this week is one we are familiar with in Year 5, as you have all written some fantastic pieces of writing that include 'ed' openers.
To remind yourself of how a sentence should look with an 'ed' opener, read both examples below. Make sure you are aware of where the comma is situated and why it needs to be there to separate the 'ing' opening clause from the main clause.
Step 2
Look at the text below. We are going to be orally retelling this part of the story, which follows on from Friday. Read the text carefully because you are going to be learning this through talk for writing using pictures and symbols.
As you read, can you identify our Year 5 grammar features?
action and dialogue.
ed opener.
expanded noun phrases.
TASK
First, read though the text and match each sentence to the story map, so you know what each symbol represents.
Then, using the text above to help you, create your own actions for the story map below that will help you remember this part of the story.
