Two weeks' worth of weekly planning for the Year 1 fairy tales and traditional tales unit on Little Red Riding Hood. I did it towards the end of the Spring term but could be done earlier (though it&'s best done when most chn can write a simple story of several sentences reasonably independently). The kids loved reading and getting under the skin of this fairy tale! Great one for drama and S&L activities.

Children watch and listen to the Animated Poem ‘Little Boy Blue’ and use it to generate extended rhyming versions. Drawing on The Train Ride and nursery rhymes such as Humpty Dumpty and Sing a song, they generate their own patterned language. Hamilton’s English planning covers all aspects of English, including SPAG, within the context of a wide range of fiction, non-fiction and poetry genres, such as traditional tales, recounts and performance poems.

Students delve into the conventions of fairy stories, considering their structure and language. Having established the stylistic techniques, and engaged in short-burst writing activities in the 'traditional style', they then look at different adaptations of the tales before rewriting them from different viewpoints - like the witch's viewpoint in 'Hansel and Gretel', and the wolf's viewpoint in 'The Three Little Pigs'. They then have fun reading 'politically correct' fairy tales, and after oral rehearsal, pair work, group work and drama activities, write their own 'politically correct' stories. Two assessment tasks, a peer assessment activity and a homework VLE unit complete the package. Contents: (6-8 lesson scheme of work, full resources and lesson plans) Classroom presentations VLE Homework presentation 9 page workbook Peer assessment resource Full lesson plans Note: All images are free to use commercially.
