A child friendly version of the story for the teacher to model daily (without an ending) as the lesson starter so children can create actions (Talk for Writing). This supports the children when they come to write independently in week 2 (so they can copy the model from memory).

* I created a flag and stuck it in the middle of the school field and the initial hook. I also planted a message in a bottle from the snail. (Detailed in lesson plan). Lots of opportunities for creative thinking and talking.
