06 Dec Year 4
This week in English, we have been learning how to effectively re-tell a story. We listened to the tale of George and the Dragon, before working in small groups to create a storyboard, orally rehearse, sequence the main events and then re-tell to the rest of the class in our own words. We made sure to work meticulously in our groups to: understand what the main events were; accurately order the events; effectively reveal the setting, main characters and problem using a variety of techniques and support each other to deliver our re-created narratives clearly. It was a great lesson to use the opportunity to share our new knowledge and skills with our peers, as we worked collaboratively towards a shared end goal. The presentations were great; all pupils took part and showcased how brilliantly they can work both independently and in assigned groups.
