Talk4Writing - How to trap a Wolf 

Did you agree with the children at school? They thought Mr Cooper had heard a Wolf! 

They decided a Wolf had scratched the tree, left footprints in the mud and worst of all left smelly piles of Wolf poo everywhere, but don’t worry we have a plan.

This is our new Talk4Writing text - How to trap a Wolf. This is our first look at an instruction text.

It is very important that when internalising this text we use the exact words written in the text, as the format and vocabulary within it has been carefully chosen to introduce the children to the format and key words used when writing instructions.

Before you show your child the text listen to this audio of the text.

Click here if you would like to use or print a copy of the PowerPoint text.

Next have a look at the text and read it through again encouraging your child to join in much as possible each time you read it. Keep practising this each day for the rest of week until the text has been internalised. Important words to learn are First , next, after that, Finally, what you need, what you do, as these will be used when writing other instructions.

Afternoon activity

This afternoon we will be enjoying a pen disco session. All you will need is a piece of paper folded into four, some coloured pencils or felt tips and some of your favourite music.

Today we are practising numbers 8,9,10. Select your favourite song and enjoy writing number 8 lots of times, in as many different colours as possible. Once you have filled your square choose a new song and start number 9, then 10.  Can you put a picture of your work on Tapestry please.
