Christmas Writing Planning: Mog's Calamity

This is 10 sessions worth of Christmas English planning that I have used with Year 2 and Year 3. It is based on the wonderful advert that Sainsbury’s and The National Literacy Trust made a few years back. It is a lovely animation and can be easily found on Youtube. Mog’s Calamity. The planning provides ideas for talk for writing games and ideas, differentiated activities and resources. At the end of the sequence of lessons, the children make their own Christmas picture book of the own story, based on the story of Mog. We colour photocopy these so the children can take them home as well as sticking in books as wonderful writing evidence.
This is such an engaging resource and every year we achieve wonderful writing results.
All resources are provided for each session. This is a 2 week unit but sessions can be easily adpated and shortened/ extended, depending on the needs of your class.
