We have been reading ‘Grandad’s Island’ in our writing lesson over the last few weeks. We are now getting ready to write our own version of the story next week. ​

So, this week we looked at what makes a good story. We looked though a story and found some of the features.​

We then highlighted them, both independently and as a class. ​

We highlighted:​

Full stops and capital letters;​
Proper nouns;​
Conjunctions​
And past tense words. ​
As a class we then discussed what was the beginning, middle and the end. ​

We can’t wait to write our own one next week!​
