During week 5 of this half term, Year 3 have been busy working to write their own Tales of Fear. Ideas have been readily flowing with fears ranging from spiders to crabs to bears. After planning, Year 3 orally shared their story with a friend who offered support by making sure the story followed the five parts of a tale of fear.
- Opening paragraph – the main character is afraid of something and is worried about it.
- Build up paragraph – the main character starts to do something
- Problem paragraph – What the main character fears actually comes true!
- Resolution paragraph – the main character overcomes the fear
- Ending paragraph – the main character has conquered the fear and looks to the future
After writing, Year 3 spent time making their changes to punctuation, grammar and also spelling. Then it was time to think like an author by publishing their stories.
Pop into Year 3 and have a read 🙂
