Horrid Henry at the Zoo l TALK 4 WRITING original portal story Activity Pack

Jammed packed full of activities and fun resource sheets, this pack includes a whole unit of work containing planning and original, creative resources to support and inspire young writers aged 5-7 years.

Inspired by Francesca Simon´s amazing character Horrid Henry and Pie Corbett´s Talk 4 Writing techniques this unit of work includes an original portal story- Horrid Henry at the Zoo- and unique resources to accompany the text.

Includes 14 lessons that can be used and adapted over a 2 or 3 week period depending on the needs of your class. The portal story helps develop narrative storytelling and the pack includes opportunities to write non-fiction diaries and simple recounts. POWERPOINT, WORD and GOOGLE drive formats.
The activities are designed to be completed over several weeks but please adapt the time length to suit the needs of your class. I teach Spanish children so we sometimes take longer to complete one activity.
