Planning and Activities

Using captivating mythical stories of selkies and mermaids, children use higher level reading skills and write their own sea myths. Set out and punctuate dialogue and use paragraphs.
Start with the core unit to introduce key texts. Then select from comprehension, SPAG and composition units.
If your class or school is having to close for a while, these materials provide a home dimension as well as a clear route map outlining what to teach online, and what to practise at home.
With TA/Tutor
These materials are for a TA or Tutor to use with a small group of children or one child.
