This is a SMART notebook activity where the children can choose the pictures to create the sentences for each part of the story. It uses the colourful semantics colours to support with structuring a sentence. The first 8 slides use 3 part sentences to retell the story (Who? Doing? What?). The next 8 slides include the same slides but with 4 part sentences (Who? Doing? What? Where?) to extend children beyond the basic sentence structure. This activity is ideal to support retelling a story in English, or as an oral retelling to support children who are EAL or have Speech & Language activities.

This is a SMART notebook resource which uses colourful semantics to help children to create simple, two part sentences. It is appropriate for very young children, or for children who either have EAL or SEN.

This SMART notebook file can be used to help children to retell the story in the correct order using colourful semantics. They can select the correct pictures to make the sentence to match the picture, then orally rehearse the sentence using this as a prompt. Once they reach the last slide (the cave), they can then go back through the slides as the family run away from the bear.

This activity is designed to help children build up sentences to retell the story of “The Three Little Pigs”. It has been designed using colourful semantics so that the children can create sentences to match a picture - for example, 1) WHO can you see? 2) WHAT are they doing? (verb) 3) What is the object? (noun). It is ideal for children with Speech & Language difficulties, or for EAL children. It can also be used as a scaffold for writing the story. On the last page there is a storyboard with pictures to sequence.
