Day 3 – Role-play
- Practice retelling your story to somebody at home or record it to show a friend. Miss Fancy and Miss Benwell are happy to pass some stories on to a friend or post it on our whole class story.
- Once you know the story quite well have a go at acting it out. Maybe you could ask your family to help? Remember we normally spend a long time at school practicing and acting out the stories we learn. So have some fun and take your time to learn the story.
- Next week we will have a look at some SPaG skills we are going to need to help to retell this story. We will also look at how we can describe the setting and the characters.
