Talk for Writing - Summer Term

We had lots of fun retelling the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar with the children last term. This term we are sharing the book We're Going on a Bear Hunt. Some of the children already know this one very well as it is one of their favourites. It is a great story to act out so we have planned lots of exciting ways to bring the story to life for the children.

Talk for Writing in the Nursery - Spring Term

This term we will be learning to retell the story of the Three Little Pigs with all the children. We will draw story maps to help us and will use small toys to represent characters in the story. Below you will find the text for the story to help you to retell it with your child. By learning the story or part of the text, the children will develop their speaking skills considerably. As this is such an important skill, we are spending longer this year learning our stories in more depth. Please let us know how you get on.
