Year 1 Writing Unit – “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” | 2 Weeks of Fully Planned Slides

Bring your Year 1 writing lessons to life with this complete two-week teaching pack based on We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. This resource includes fully sequenced, ready-to-teach lesson slides covering story sequencing, labelling, segmenting and blending (Fred Talk), red word practice, shared reading, shared writing and daily hold-a-sentence tasks.

Across the fortnight, children build confidence writing simple sentences, rehearsing key story language, and internalising repeated structures from the text. Lessons follow a consistent structure with clear modelling, guided steps and independent tasks—perfect for ECTs, supply teachers, or anyone wanting high-quality, no-prep writing lessons.

What’s included:

Week 1 & Week 2 PowerPoint lesson slides (fully editable)

Daily learning intentions linked to writing objectives

Repeated exposure to story vocabulary and red words

Modelled examples for “We are going…”, “Oh no!”, “We can’t go…”, “We have to go through it!” and more

Shared reading & writing prompts

Hold-a-sentence tasks for focus groups and independent practice

Clear progression from sequencing and labelling to writing simple sentences with accuracy

Ideal for classrooms following RWI routines or those wanting structured, consistent writing practice.

A complete, engaging and time-saving writing unit your pupils will love!
