Bear Under the Stairs Year 2 Planning Sequence

This is a three-week planning sequence, following the planning from the Literacy Tree, in which children will look at the book The Bear Under the Stairs and use it as a model to write letters from the main character to the bear and back. Children write their own story of a child who is scared of something that might be in the house. Children write a comparison between real bears and toy bears. It also covers grammar skills such as sentence types, homophones and using the conjunction ‘but’. Detailed Smart Notebook slides are included for each lesson and all resources are provided including teacher notes for modeled writing. It is advisable to have the planning from the Literacy Tree.
