This half-term, Year 4 are writing a narrative inspired by The Dragon Slayer.
purpose: to tell stories to interest and entertain
audience: children sat around a campfire listening to stories of legends from the past
Our narratives will..
– describe the main character (and his back story)
– create tension as he rides towards the dragon
When we’re writing, we’ll be thinking about including our R2s (remember tos):
- adverbs
- verbs
- apostrophes for possession
- ENPs (expanded noun phrases)
Keep your eyes peeled to see our writing develop.
Help at home: watch The Dragon Slayer (up to 1 min 53) and discuss the character with your child. What might his background be? What words could you use to describe him? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_f3AtPfuiw
