2 week plan based on “The Wild Wood” setting and building up to a diary entry / setting description from Mole’s point of view. Pupils include features found in original text and focus on vocabulary and literary features & their effect on reader.
Setting WAGOLL I wrote while teaching Arthur and the Golden Rope with my Year 4 class. Includes Y4 features e.g. expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials, pronouns, paragraphs.
An easy way to display who’s read each day in class, with blanks for each name up to 30 children and each day of the week. Grey background with gold stars.
