Traditional Tales

Lesson: Literacy

Class: Class 2 Year: 2024 - 2025

We have started the year by reading and discussing lots of traditional tales.  We spent some of our English lessons last week unpicking the structure and features of traditional tales and spotting the common elements and themes.  We also looked at a the subtle differences between traditional tales and fairy tales.  It turns out that we know lots of both types of stories! We had a go at describing some of the characters, using interesting adjective choices, and we worked in small teams to unscramble some jumbled up sentences.  We are learning what a sentence sounds like (it must make sense and be a complete thought) and looking for clues such as capital letters and full stops to help us find the beginning and the end.
