Hello Year 1. We hope you had a lovely weekend in the sunshine.
This week in Literacy we will be putting your knowledge of ‘The Enormous Turnip’ to the test! Over the next couple of days we would like to see if you can write your own version of the story.
You could do this in one of two ways. First of all you may choose to retell the story in your own words. Can you use traditional story language? Can you include each part of the story?
However, if you want more of a challenge, you may choose to put your own twist on the story. You may decide to change the story so that you have a different giant vegetable – such as ‘The Enormous Carrot’ or ‘The Enormous Marrow’. You could also switch the characters. You may even decide to star in the story yourself!
Monday’s task is to plan your story. We usually do this with a visual story board. Attached is an example you could use or draw your own. You can simplify this to have less boxes if you would rather. Draw what will happen in your story in order. You could label the pictures. You will use this plan to help support you in your story writing the next day. We look forward to seeing all the different things you come up with.
