The performance of The Wizard of Oz this week was one of the best we have seen at Scholes (Elmet) Primary School.
The acting, singing, scenery and story telling left us all wanting more.
Not only that, but experiences like this provides a stimulus to help us to write. It makes our writing more meaningful and easier to put pen to paper.
In Year 3/4 we have been working on direct speech within a story. So, this was an ideal opportunity to create dialogue between characters.
Here is our writing sequence:
- watch and retell the story of The Wizard of Oz
- recap by looking at photographs from the performance
- add speech bubbles for what the characters said
- turn speech bubbles into written direct speech
Here are some examples of our work that we feel proud to show off:-
