This half term Year 4 have been developing their writing skills based on the text ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes. Here is an insight into one of our planning lessons where the children were working hard to plan their own continuation of the story. The children completed a narrative map where they drew pictures and wrote captions to illustrate what was going to happen at each plot point in their story. They then began to plan which specific writing lenses they are going to include in their independent write.
