In writing, Year 4 are looking at news reports.
The purpose of a news report is to tell the reader information about something that has happened.
We’re going to be writing a news report about a twisted tale. We’re doing a spin on the classic three little pigs story. However, ours is going to be the three little wolves and the big bad pig. The big bad pig needs a warm blanket for winter and wolf fur is exactly what he’s looking for!
Today, together we drew a story map (we found the drawing quite tricky as you can see!) of our twisted tale. This is going to help us write our news reports next week.
Help at home: ask your children to tell you the story of the three little wolves and the big bad pig. Can they do it like a news reporter?
