This week, Class 2 have been stepping into the world of castles, dragons and very brave princesses! 🐉 🏰 👑
In Literacy, we have been reading ‘The Paper Bag Princess’. The children really enjoyed meeting Princess Elizabeth, who does not wait around to be rescued… instead, she sets off to rescue Prince Ronald herself!
We created a story map together to help us remember the main parts of the story, then practised retelling it using actions, expression and lots of brilliant storytelling language. The children had great fun acting it out too, and it was lovely to see them continuing this in their play, retelling the story to each other and bringing it to life in our castle role play area.
Later in the week, the children used their story knowledge to write sentences about what happened. They worked hard to say their sentences out loud, use their phonics and write their ideas carefully.
We have been so impressed with their storytelling, acting and writing this week. What a lovely start to our castles theme!
